(MENAFN- Live Mint) Surviving a toxic workplace culture is difficult, and it takes more strength to leave that culture without any job offer, interview, or savings. A Delhi-based woman shared a story of her friend's struggle with a draining corporate job and his bold move to leave it without any backup plan.

A LinkedIn post by Tabassum Hasan, Founder of Yesterday Skincare, has sparked discussions around the risks of staying in an unfulfilling job. In her post, Hasan shared the story of her friend, who left his job without serving a notice period because“he couldn't take it anymore.”

Although many assumed that“he had ruined his career” as he even struggled for months, recalled Hasan while mentioning that her friend never regretted his decision.

“No steady income, no interviews - but he was finally happy. There was no toxicity or unnecessary pressure.”
