What is toxic martyrdom, and is it making your workplace hell? careers work psychology burnout

is almost certainly to blame for a lot of this self-flagellation, there’s no denying that the more extreme of these workplace martyrs give off… well, they give off something not unlike a toxic energy.

“We might be fooled into thinking they enjoy complaining or being put out, but it’s usually a mechanism to protect their insecurities, to prove themselves or their worth. So, within the workplace, this looks a lot like people doing overtime on a frequent basis, taking on more responsibility than their role requires, or taking on more tasks than they can actually handle, in order to prove their worth or ability.

“If you’ve ever been left with most of the household responsibilities on your plate, you’ll know that after a while it becomes tedious, frustrating and without appreciation can lead to relationships unravelling as a result,” she says. “They may feel obliged to go the extra mile or do so out of guilt which comes from within, rather than genuine demands of the role.”“The impact of martyrdom on our colleagues and employees can lead to low morale, irritability between colleagues and difficulties in workplace relationships,” says McMahon.

She continues: “It can be really difficult to manage working well within toxic martyrdom but it’s important to see the whole picture, not just what we see at work. Working long hours, leaving little time for ourselves and to take care of ourselves can have a huge impact on our wellbeing, and exerting our efforts when we’re underappreciated is a quick road to burnout.
