I have a boring work-related question to ask your opinion of. Thanks in advance for reading. Please don't quote, as I may DD this later, since it's work-related.
Since August, the place I work at has become, in a word, toxic. The principal of the school took a sudden LOA to avoid being canned, and ever since then, the place has been a nightmare. My boss is constantly irritated, leaves for days on end, asks me to do something and then gets mad at me for doing it, and generally tries to avoid the shitstorm of problems that the LOA has caused. My two coworkers fight CONSTANTLY, usually yelling at each other in the office or right outside of it. The one coworker that I have to work with every day (one of the two bickering), is unceasingly negative, and brings it into the office. I'm ready to tear my hair out.
I thought that this would go away after the initial week of craziness. But it hasn't. I come home absolutely depressed every single day, either in tears or to that point. Recently I started getting chest pains which vanished as soon as I left the office to run an errand, and came back the minute I returned. I've gone from one or fewer anxiety attacks a week to at least one anxiety attack a day in the past month. I don't know what to do.
I was told that I should mention to my boss that the atmosphere in the office is affecting my health, but considering that he hasn't wanted to deal with all the other crap that's going on, I'm not sure he would even do anything about it. I also don't want to be the complainer piling ONE MORE THING on him. But I can't keep coming to work in a place that is making me physically sick.
WWYD?
