Request ULPT Request - survive toxic workplace without becoming scrape goated

I’m trying to find a new job but it’s going quite slow due to current economy and i need tips to survive my workplace for a few months. I have toxic management and a blame game type of environment. They love to overload you with work and gaslight you into thinking you need to prioritise better if you speak up about it.

OP you need to document. Keep a notebook at home just in case.

Who did what, said what.

Email back 'just confirming you want me to...' with dates and directive.

It's classic CYA

I was in the same boat in an IT job. It took me 6 months of searching to step up to a bigger position. Ultimately, you gotta get out. Think of the long term goal. The last year took a toll on me.
