Nowadays, people have become workaholic that they have made their life revolve around their jobs. Here are warning signs that you are working a toxic job.
You can’t stop thinking about work outside your workplace
There is no denying that not think about work even on a vacation is difficult. However, if you can’t ignore messages or emails from your boss, or if you end up blabbering about your job with your family and friends, you are giving up too much of yourself to your work.
You are choosing your coworkers over your own family and friends
It is nice to get along or even make friends with your co-workers. However, you should have a life outside and work. You should not cancel family dinner for a karaoke night with them, and you should not be prioritizing them over your close friends.
You are having difficulty sleeping
When you have trouble sleeping, there is usually just one culprit: work. No job is worth losing the capacity to rest. Aside from that, you’re just going to make your job and your life harder by always not getting enough sleep.
You are building a camp at your work desk
A normal work desk has the basic things: a bottle of water. extra pair of comfortable shoes, and office supplies. You’re going overboard if it already has your toiletries, outfits and you have filled the company refrigerator with your daily food.
Your overall happiness depends on your happiness at work
Having a good day at work is indeed better than ending a bad one. But if your happiness depends on how your boss treats you, or how the meeting went, you are having the wrong priorities. Instead, find happiness by making personal goals.
