Do you think you’ll actually be effective at working on a cause area if you’re in a miserable environment with destroyed mental health ,where you’re liable to be actively sabotaged?
I’d encourage you to report the behaviour anyway, but if it persists you should not stay in that environment! It sounds like your options are:
a) move away and try your luck in a different location (and risk the new group being toxic as well)
b) Forge your own non-EA path in the area
c) stop working full-time in the cause area (you could earn-to-give, say, and contribute on the side if you feel like it).
You don’t need to be “in EA” to do good effectively! If your “EA” environment is shit, either change the environment or leave.
