An employee posted a corporate cry for help in an online forum, sharing how he struggles with his workplace environment.
SINGAPORE: “How do you fake happiness at work?” This was the question a netizen asked Singaporeans in an online forum on Tuesday , sharing his struggle allegedly dealing with a toxic boss at work. “It’s incredibly competitive here, and some bosses might be toxic or have let you down in ways that make it hard to move on, leaving you feeling heartbroken,” he shared.
He then turned to Singaporeans with more workplace experience, asking, “For those dealing with toxic bosses or who have faced disappointment, how do you cope and maintain a positive outlook? Especially with everything being so expensive now, it’s even more challenging to deal with a toxic work environment and stay motivated.
“If you fake happiness on the outside, on the inside you will still hold lots of unhappiness and resentment which will slowly eat you up and suffer alone so why bother?” said one. “What I would do is separate work life from personal life. Look forward to things outside of work like family, friends or hobbies while maintaining professionalism at my workplace. There is no escape from work politics and try not to idealize how a perfect workplace should be.
Work can be a protective factor for mental health, but it can also contribute to worsening mental health. Work-related mental health conditions are preventable. Much can also be done to protect and promote mental health at work and support people with mental health conditions to participate fully and equitably in work.
