    When you are othered in an organisational culture that is harmful how do you decide to stay and help change it or leave. Genelle Aldred discuss two signs that could help you to make that decision.There are not straight lines, it's often complex and messy. However staying in a toxic culture can have a long-term detrimental effect on you. So we all need to think carefully about whether or not things can change and if you are the person to achieve that change.Genelle has seen - and has herself - burnout when people try to swim against a cultural tide. Whilst intentions might be good, sometimes we don't have the influence, power or right set of privileges to effect change where we are. The pain this causes and the long term detrimental effects aren't worth it. Sometimes, our ego makes us feel that we have more clout to affect change than we do. It's important to acknowledge that no one can save the whole world in this space. Although some people have a higher pain threshold to stay and endure, you have to do what's right for you and the situation.
