The Toll of Workplace Harm
Work and Identity
What happened at work doesn't define your ability or worth.
For many people, work is tied up with identity, who they are, what they're good at, and what they contribute.
When a workplace turns difficult, that connection can take a hit. You may feel less sure of yourself, your path, or your place in your field.
Loss of confidence
You may start to doubt your skills, second-guess decisions, or feel you need to prove yourself in ways you never did before.
Career grief
It's possible to grieve a role, a team, a career path, or a future you expected, even while you're still in the job.
Professional reputation
When your work or character is questioned unfairly, it can shake how you think others see you and how you see yourself.
Loss of purpose
Work that once felt meaningful can start to feel hollow, unsafe, or pointless, and that can be disorienting.
