I think one of the major needs in getting out of a bad work situation or relationship is a strong support system. Churning emotions, especially fear, coupled with confusion and clouded perceptions, can pull a person in the wrong direction or hold them "hostage" to the damaging relationship. I was in a dysfunctional workplace situation with an abusive boss and a bully co-worker feeding her false and damaging information (they were quite a "team"). I suffered greatly until I finally sought professional counseling. The therapist was able to help me put the situation in perspective, recover my dignity, and gain the strength I needed to move on.

One of the biggest problems I see with the professionals I work with is the fear of letting go of a job or career that is not working. Rather than make changes even if that means "breaking up" they remain stuck and do nothing to actively manage their career. It's heartbreaking! Career satisfaction does not just happen, it requires ongoing action on your part. Spot on advice!
