What Burned Out Lawyers Need to Know

On the latest episode of the Former Lawyer podcast, I talked about The Eight Signs of a Toxic Legal Workplace. For this episode, I am going to pull heavily from a great piece by Ilona Salmons, who is a therapist that specializes in working with lawyers. You may have noticed that toxic workplaces often come up a lot on the podcast. The reason that I think this topic is important to talk about is that toxic workplaces are the number one contributor to burnout.  As you’re reading, I want you to think about whether or not this is true for your work environment, and to think about why seeing these signs matters. Keep reading to learn the 8 signs of a toxic workplace and what you can do to avoid burnout.  See show notes at formerlawyer.com/120
