Giving up the fight and choosing self
Hello all. So, I have a solid decade working in the finance environment but spanning across different industries, both lcoal and international. I have been in toxic workplaces many times. The first time, no idea what is happening or why or what to do. With time, i learnt how to react or protect myself or report properly.
My latest job should have been my dream job - combined my passion and my work specialisation. I kind of guessed it was shitty work environment with incompetent persons governing because that's the direction my interview headed into. I spent one and a half years voicing out with facts, figures, internal audit and external audit.
I ended discovering a whole network of bullies protecting each other at various levels all the way to the top. I went to the police, to the local authorities and reported to our shareholders with proof. Nothing has happened. Instead, I have been oppressed, diminished, bullied and you name it for just doing my job.
It was my delusion maybe that this time, I could finally make a change. In the global context of what has been happening worldwide, I can understand a tiny fraction of how the silence of the majority promotes greed, abuse of power and corruption. Everyone now knows what lies underneath and everyone is choosing to look the other way instead.
Finally, I am now labelled as the problem.
It took my health declining for me to let it all go. If people want to eat shit, sometimes there is just nothing one can do but let them.
I now choose me. I choose my health. I choose my family.
