Lookback: 1 year after leaving the previous job

“Moved to a new job to escape a toxic coworker”

My former coworker's hostile behavior and sabotage made my work environment unbearable and severely affected my mental health.

What I wish I knew
"To be more proactive in addressing the issue and seeking support from HR or a supervisor."
If I could tell you one thing
"Document incidents and seek help from HR or a supervisor if you're experiencing similar issues with a coworker."
