Leaving a toxic work environment can be a difficult and emotional endeavor. You might be fearful of what happens when you leave a job you know so well. Will you fail?

And she’s seen—and experienced—her fair share of toxic work environments. In this episode, we talked about:
- Why being a people person doesn’t guarantee success in HR
- How to identify—and know it’s time to leave—a toxic work environment
- How to overcome the fear of leaving a job or company you know (and take the risk to find a better one)
