Stuck at a job you hate? Your attitude is still the one thing on your schedule you get to pick.

Getting stuck somewhere unpleasant takes most of your options away and leaves a small one intact: how you carry yourself through the hours. That is not a cure and it is not nothing, because it affects what the days cost you and what you leave with. Nobody is asking you to enjoy it.

While you work on getting out, decide what you will refuse to let the place turn you into. Be decent to the people stuck there with you. And put some energy each week into the exit, so the attitude is not the only thing you are managing.
