I think he made a good decision by quitting if things were that bad.

The shame is suppose to be on them, not you.

I left a job for similar reasons in my 20s, and it felt like failure at first. It wasn’t.

A few things that helped me and my clients:

1. Reframe the story
You didn’t “quit because you’re weak”; you removed yourself from a harmful environment. That’s a boundary, not a flaw.

2. Separate facts from feelings
Fact: You were bullied.
Feeling: “I’m ashamed.”
Feelings pass; facts don’t.

3. Normalize it
Many high-performing people leave toxic workplaces. It’s often a sign of self-respect and long-term wisdom.

4. Turn it into criteria
Use this experience to define what you will and won’t accept in future workplaces.
