Toxic environments can be present in any organisation. That includes those who say they have a zero tolerance policy approach. The challenge comes when an organisations managers engage in the practice. Their poor behaviour towards staff can last for decades without any effective intervention (guidance etc) from human resources. This can suggest an overworked HR team and/or a problem with organisational culture. Either way the organisation is probably failing to fulfill its true potential.

I'd love to hear what resonates with you in this video and what other questions or topics you would like me to do content on.

good job

Every job i worked was toxic. Bosses were incompetent and didnt give a shit. Old employes were constantly on the verge of losing their minds or they just didnt care about doing their job. There are SO MANY of these kind of places that somehow, with all their problems, "exist"

This was SO helpful. Ty!

Great insights! Love the tip about turning the camera on; some of my team do not do this and it can be a touch topic. Appreciate this! Thank you!

Did you ever notice that you cannot give a "Performance Review" of your manager, to his/her higher up? Yet... Your manager gives you a "Performance Review" at least once per year.

Thank you so much!

Good stuff!

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the great video. I need your help to identify if the new company I started working at is toxic. So here is how it working there: we are mostly working from home, and there is little communication between all colleaques. Whenever I need to get some information I am dependent on, the colleaques are always "too busy" to respond, so the only way is to push them through sending email with CC copy to my manager and then luckily will get a one-line respond. The responsibilities as well as the project handling chain is unclear and undefined (everybody does what they think is right), so everybody is trying to throw their assigned tasks from their shoulders to somebody else. Most projects are failing and many of the customers are not sattisfied. While on onboarding process I got almost 0 training and am overwhelmed by tasks from the failing projects. I recently got sick due to burnout and on a sick leave now. The only thing is the salary is a little above the average. I don't know if this company is good enough to be called "toxic" and does it worth staying there due to the Ok salary ? If its really toxic, I will do my best to quit it.

This is true thank you for helping me🙂

Hierarchy shouldn't be everyone should have same amount of money it shouldn't be someone is rich and someone is poor good people are not good and they don't have there hand tie there back if they are really good then they would fight against hierarchy even if they lose there job or everything that means there are the real good people sacrifice for others makes someone good if someone has little selfishness there considerd bad people good people should join up to fight this a leadership no one should have more then someone else being rich is wrong

Peace be upon you, my brother, many times you provoke me like this, which I live with, but I swear to God, Ashon behaves like a supervisor who does not sign a paper and responds. It is all equal until she submits it to the training director. Alamud receives a copy of the certificate of a course she completed, and the last is three emails and he lies, saying she has not received it, and the next 7 months she runs after him and others. 12 days to get it if another supervisor of 5 years does not accept to open a higher job title. You say by email that you must change to another department, and then you discover a 9-month-old Jewish employee in the same department as yours, the title of manager is opened for him, and your salary is lower than the rest of them, who have a lower academic degree than you and even a job title, and you ask the head of your department to respond to you. A champion and a site supervisor gives an evaluation to 24 employees and refuses to send you an email to give you your evaluation. This has happened more than once, knowing that work recommendations require them to submit them at least 5 days before they leave, and a contract employee gives a building permit alone for an invalid site and the next, just so they waste money in their pocket, and another changes the bar code number. More than once, a lion's worth of more than fifty thousand, with one of them being 15 thousand, and a black directorate let 3 team leaders with a lower job rank than me take a job in my head. They were a disaster, but I was with her and she let 2 black people go to training and forbid me that after I received my approval, if the supervisor calls you, he says that he signed a housing permit. And the refrigeration is not working, and you said no, it is not within the instructions, you will be involved, and if you ask him for an email, if he sends you a message in order to protect your rights, he will not respond, and if you write it in the email in light of verbal instructions, you will become an adulterer, and if you sign, the licensing department will come and see you with the citizen to examine, and he will email you with an email to me. All the managers are negligent on your part. It didn't feel like the refrigerator was burning and the residential unit was burning. You know where I'm going. And a lot of dirty things. I watch the news now and see fraud and bribery between two current American presidents and even the mayor of our state. It seems that the matter is normal in the government of the super-democratic superpower. Everything I went through was in government emails and they lie without fear Then she replies that it is my style What do you say, based on your experience, how do you act and protect yourself in a stressful situation in the middle of a toxic and racist environment? What I should do that was with the FEMA logistics department.

They are not "useful". If consulting, it is VERY dangerous to drop buzzwords with clients as they can be absolutely HATED, and they'll write you off as a blubbering tool in a nanosecond.

Such a poor understanding of hierarchies… or a badly attempt to give them a bad rep just to sell you some waste of a service.

Hooooo boy😂😂 check, check check…check…check!!!

Very insightful video. Thanks!

Great video!!

Happy New Year 2024!! Just found your channel!! Great advice!! I've seen all of these red flags at my last contract job at TCW out here in LA!!

What are some pointed questions you can ask to avoid toxic workplaces? I've been on a stint of them. I'm tired of these places that are draining and whittle away your self-confidence, career progression, opportunities, and holistic health.

My workplace ranks 9 out of 10 Wow.

Most defense companies are toxic in my experience. They do not want you to think for yourself and they condone spoon-feeding others.

What a great explanation! Wish I had seen it much earlier!

This video doesnt even BEGIN to describe this chaos/burnout as a vet med professional

Sounds like Walmart

Outstanding video! Really appreciate the insights shared. However RankWatch's video covers more expert guidance on this same topic for valuable expert tips and tricks.

0:10 I dint understand why he would be considered dificult. He is talking about trouble that he encounters. The dude is just trying to do is job. Management should just listen to him and implement solutions, not label him as a problem IMO

This is unrelated but how many Asian Women in power Suits are there in the business world? I'm serious.

It's strange but business always gets me so motivated. I might even go get the laptop on this. Use all ten fingers instead of only 2 thumbs like the outdated presentation on Downs Syndrome they gave us freshman at Bridgewater Raynham Regional High in 2001. "Now try to tie your shoes with only your thumbs." Unrelated, but I could work a Waldorf fountain finely with just my thumbs, and I've heard that's a serious problem for some of my betters. Hierarchy.

Nice guide. Clear, concise and practical 👍

When an organisation is hell bent on pushing an experimental medical procedure on you not for health but just for their compliance reasons then all respect for that company goes out the window and the backlash games begin.

very true, thank you!

There has been a huge trend of empowering employees right as we have stopped, believing in the power of expertise. I have had a few new to business and younger managers recently, and they were not at all equipped, or prepared to implement the change management, needed to make IT driven pivots. I sure was empowered, but without authority lol.

“Radical”. Radical candor, radical ownership… we’ve all become so disingenuous with our words that we have to use radical, instead of just saying some thing.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯

Good videos man, I like it! Not much content out here around organizational engineering. Thankyou

Great presentation style and an intelligent approach. Well done 👏 ✔️.

My wife and I own a construction company specializing in remodeling. I already track time it takes trades to complete their scopes but it's just chicken scratches in a note book. Can you recommend a company or software to bring everything over to a digital world?

10, 15, 20, 25, and 30!!! It's a noxious stew of abominable stench...

They don't care idk what kind of people are giving leadership these days !poor skills of managing team

I started looking for a new job the second week on my current job. Red Flag #1: It turns out "We'll make sure we get you full time hours" is not the same as "We'll make the position full time." Sorry, not negotiable. I need full time. I have an interview scheduled for tomorrow. In the mean time I'm trying to learn as much as possible so that I can spot issues and address them effectively instead of getting sucked into their poor patterns of behavior. When I was hired, and during my first couple of days, I was repeatedly told that they were hoping I could help address the very poor documentation and staff getting into ruts. (It's an agency that provides companion care and behavioral support to people with intellectual disabilities.) In retrospect, it's a very similar situation to one I was in over twenty years ago where management thought, "She's really a wiz at this. If we transfer her to the program where the people are who suck at this, she'll make them good at it!" So there I am, hired to "talk to the front line workers regularly. We need to get their documentation improved. They can't justify the hours we're billing for because they're just documenting observation, observation, observation. They're supposed to be providing support!" Pretty clearly some of the staff ARE providing support but aren't documenting it, and some of them are just documenting how frustrated they are.

Don't work for an employer if you're interviewing with more than MAYBE two people. Anything more than that means you will have every person in that room breathing down your neck. It's like in Office Space when Peter complained about having eight different bosses.

I agree with this!! 100%!

I've never heard "don't boil the ocean" used to avoid doing hard work. In my experience in consulting it's a term used to tell over-enthusiastic business analysts you don't need to rewrite the laws of physics & calculus to explain why you don't sell ice in Antarctica...

Great! 😊

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you found this helpful and if you have suggestions for future content.

GREAT WORK.

Do you have any other thoughts about what makes a manager or leader great?

How do you see technology shaping the future of work?
