Struggling with a toxic work environment in hospitality while job searching

I’m currently working part-time in hospitality, and while I genuinely enjoy the work and the tasks I perform, the environment has become unbearable. The management and some of my coworkers are incredibly difficult to deal with, often engaging in gossip and showing a lack of motivation. On quieter days, it feels like I'm the only one putting in effort, which is frustrating. My previous job, although it was janitorial work for £7 an hour, was a joy because of the positive atmosphere. Here, however, I often find myself working long hours—sometimes up to 12 hours without breaks—and raising concerns has led to no changes. To make matters worse, my paycheck has been messed up for the last two months, and I'm worried about how this will affect my future pay. I've always believed that I could endure this job if the people were decent, but the negativity is overwhelming. Many around me dismiss my feelings, saying that hospitality is just tough and that I should accept it as part of adult life. This situation is affecting my mental health, and I’m actively searching for new opportunities, but the job market feels bleak. My family suggests I wait it out until I find something better, but I’m really struggling to cope here.
