JAKARTA - MIT Sloan Management Review recently released data that a toxic workplace culture has caused employees to quit their jobs more than 10 times than low salary issues.

When discussing toxic leadership, this means the figure of the boss. Healthline Media's health website states that a toxic work environment, one of which (dominant) is caused by the ruling superior.

Toxic boss builds superior-subordinate relationships, not equality or partnership approaches. No need to have a heart, let alone empathy, just use his power' to move people. The threat of punishment will be the next move if the order is not carried out.

The boss has a sensitive disease, with a high level of offense as a result of feeling powerful earlier. The boss's nature tends to be subjective, giving many opportunities to those who can please him and do not provide space for those who have denied or criticized him.

However, if exposure to toxicity only comes from the boss, not the overall work environment, actually employees may still survive.

There is no need to rush into despair and immediately decide to get out of work, if the problem is only a toxic boss. Let's just say it's a challenge and we can put out a defensive art move.

Remember that the boss is not the only person you meet in the office, there are still many fun colleagues, sincere support and comfort us. Make a solid friendship environment, so as not to feel alone, together they can share stories and annoyance with each other.

The next step is to love the profession that we are involved in. With the power of love, the pain caused by external parties will not be felt, because we focus on working so that it produces inner satisfaction and pride in itself.

Then grateful, having a job especially in the field we like, is a gift. Even if sometimes tired of being involved in conflict in the work environment, at least it's still better, because maybe a lot of unemployed out there are more tired of looking for work.

Then, what is no less important and don't forget is to do self-healing by recreation. In a day you spend at least 8 hours working or a third of the day. If the work environment is not healthy, it will certainly affect mental health.

According to EQ expert Josua, a toxic leader can suck up the emotional energy of his work team. So don't wait until it's crazy, take the time off to have fun and restore your mental health.
