Things I Scream In My Head At Work

How to stay sane in a toxic workplace full of difficult coworkers, clueless bosses, office politics, and meetings that should be an email, while your mouth keeps saying "sounds good" and your brain's yelling "are you f*cking kidding me".

• Survive toxic coworkers, clueless bosses, and office politics without losing your mind
• Speak up without spiraling, apologizing, or overexplaining
• Set boundaries that stick without feeling rude or guilty
• Handle meetings, emails, and "quick questions" that hijack your whole day
• Use simple scripts to say no, push back, and stay professional without being a doormat

Things I Scream In My Head At Work

If you've ever sat in a meeting thinking, "Why am I still here?" you're in the right place. This is a brutally relatable survival guide for anyone stuck in a workplace that drains your energy, tests your patience, and makes you question your sanity by 10:17am.

This isn't a corporate self-help book that tells you to "practice gratitude" while your workload explodes. It's practical, plain-English advice with humor, real talk, and tactics you can actually use when a "quick urgent thing" lands at 4:58pm on a Friday and you feel your soul leave your body.
