One I have found helpful in a professional context is to think "If I were fired today, what would my replacement do about this?"


Sometimes, though, the answer is "run screaming out the front door and never be seen again. :P


You have to ask yourself those questions sometimes.

Staying in a toxic workplace because you have a mortgage, debts or a family to support could seem to an outsider like you've slipped into a Stockholm Syndrome-like mindset where you just don't want to think about it.


I wonder how many of us would do exactly that if we felt it was an option.
