 Toxic workplace, what do I do?
<i>>This is a not for profit organization that is strictly mandated by government procedures. It has a large budget. It has been around several decades. It serves tens of thousands users a year and enjoys monopoly on the services it's users require.</i><p>I'm familiar with that situation.<p>Two things:<p>1.) You're in no danger, there's likely no accountability at any level and you don't have to be in a hurry to quit. As a relative newcomer, what you see as a death spiral is likely status quo for the organization - it's a zombie.<p>2.) You never had a chance at effecting any real change, so don't feel guilty about bailing.
