I kindly addressed my team lead about her harsh and abusive tone at work towards me, and it backfired. The CEO (who is also abusive), came down hard on me as if I had done something wrong and forced me to apologize, saying that behavior is not tolerated and mocking my statement of “you attract more with honey than vinegar”. I felt devastated. How do I move myself positively forward while keeping my head up when it appears the whole chain is toxic?
