Frequently Asked Questions

Should I tell my boss about my mental health?

Only if you feel safe doing so. You are not obligated to disclose. If you need accommodations, HR may be a safer starting point than your direct manager.

What are signs of a toxic workplace?

Constant criticism, unclear expectations, micromanagement, lack of psychological safety, and high turnover. If the environment is the problem, coping strategies have limits.
