The 9 signs to watch out for of a toxic workplace. #toxic #toxicity #toxicworkculture #toxicworkplace #toxicboss

[@kwkw5711]

You missed management lies, making promises that never materialise, rapid turnover, constant reorganisation, regrading of staff downwards, wearing multiple hats, not clarifying tasks, poor project management, pointless meetings, no staff appraisals, repeated staff breakdowns, widespread mental health issues, difficulty recruiting

[@annazhou787]

Literally my work enviornment omg

[@Lv-nq9qz]

Rapid turnover is a major red flag. If you interview with someone, be sure to ask why the position is open. If they refuse to answer or flat out lie, eff em.

[@DKSE123]

And fuck jobbing too

1. Not being listened to 2. Gossip 3. Bullying 4. Narcissist leadership 5. Poor communication lines 6. Low morale not feeling valued 7 unfair working policies. 8. Poor work life balance 9. Burnout

[@robertcamble3543]

Also Gaslighting & micromanaging .

I once worked at a company where the CEO said in a staff meeting, "If you don't like it here, leave. I have 25 applications for every open position." Yet we were always short staffed.

[@beverleyreid7572]

Blacklisting the individual for speaking their truth!!! It’s pathetic and sad and I experienced all the above and developed anxiety!!! THIS IS ALL REAL.

[@n.m.3760]

Giant red flag: nepotism arrangements. When the boss' wife/husband works in the office. Especially if they're not qualified for the role. Run far, far away and don't ever accept the job. Nothing good ever comes out of that. Or any form of nepotism really (friends, family members, etc). You, as the employee, will always be "wrong". Not to mention, if you have a legitimate complaint about a spouse, you can't exactly bring that up to the boss. Nepotism harms morale in the office.

[@jackel54130]

My manager said in the interview, "I don't care if you work here for 6 months or 5 years." Kind of tells you how much they value their employees.

[@People_R_Foolish]

And yet, you are working there.

[@The12thSeahorse]

What an appalling attitude!

[@jaydenp4975]

Wow! I’ve heard something similar from executives about incoming new hires.

[@xisotopex]

telling workers that the stress they get from the job is their fault and they need to be "more resilient"...

[@user-mr2eo9we3n]

I walked off of my job last week because of 7 out of 9 signs on this list. I put up with it for years. Self-care is most important.

[@focusdecorating3637]

Counting 7 myself actually !

[@N.F.E.]

This was my previous job before being laid off. The employees at this business were the worst people I ever worked with. It was obvious I wasn't welcomed or liked. Other employees were being helped while I was not being helped at all. I couldn't learn anything because I was given new tasks to do everyday that I would fall behind on other tasks and I was set up to fail. If you are being treated poorly by employees or your employer, don't stick around. Move on to something else.

[@People_R_Foolish]

Maybe it was just you.

[@jeffreycone7504]

Right on!!!!! I was in a similar situation. I was so stressed I was bed ridden for a week. I was there for almost 12 years and still treated like a new hire. This was at the Seatac Marriott. The managers were rude and arrogant and incompetent. So were the other employees.

[@The12thSeahorse]

The problem is most other companies are like you describe……if you escape from one frying pan 🍳 you end up jumping into another frying pan.

[@maxalberts2003]

@@People_R_Foolish I wonder if the manager had been forced to hire that employee. That happens more than you'd think.

[@Peaceharmony-x3r]

When there is a high rate of unemployment it is difficult to find another job when one finds oneself in toxic work environment. Also, many work places these days are toxic. I went from one bad situation to another. After my last bad treatment, I left so ill I never fully recovered. Now I no longer want to work. I understand now why some people rather claim benefits than work. There is not enough focus on staff welfare and no protection from bullying. Work places nowadays are more toxic because of high unemployment. If you complain of bad treatment you are shown the door because you are easily replaced by one of the many unemployed.

[@Lv-nq9qz]

Another sign that I ignored was that management will explicitly tell you not to discuss your wages. That means someone isnt being paid fairly, and chances are its the women or the most recent hires.

I had a boss who just wanted to get rid of me and then they wrote up a bunch of fake things about them to justify whatever they wanted.

[@liliasgordon3565]

I can identify with that. I was accused of using foul language, at a meeting with her boss she admitted that was an assumption that I going to use expletives, fast forward two years later (they were still trying to take this accusation forward) I told them to do that and I would take my recording of her previous admission to the press - never seen a room clear so quickly!

[@greenbutterfly9455]

My recent former place of employment was so toxic, thanks to the 'good ole girls club.' After searching through channels to see if any related to my situation, I haven't found any of them like my former supervisor. My former supervisor was a very charming wolfe in sheep's clothing; which made it very hard for me to prove her deceitful, manapulitive ways when I reported her to the big boss. The big boss thought I must have been having a misperception of her because she felt there was no way this person I was exposing could be anything like I was claiming her to be. True story, many colleagues began turning against me because she made sure to turn as many people against me as she could. What really upsets me is the two other coworkers who worked in the same department as me, they know that everything I was saying was true, but sadly neither one of them was brave enough to speak up because fear of losing their job, and likely because they saw what happened to me after I spoke up. It's disturbing to know that good hard working people such as myself was shunned for speaking the truth and a wolfe in sheep's clothing continues to get away with workplace corruption.

[@neelzen9975]

Im glad you stood up for yourself. It's crazy how much power and influence charisma can give someone even if they are bad leaders or incompetent.

[@blackpanther67]

Well said. I've been in such an environment & I can tell you in all confidence & honesty; it is ABSOLUTELY not worth the time nor effort to try & stay in such a place. Nothing but illness & mental health issues await anyone who is willing to stay through such a headache. Don't do it, you are worth more than that.

10) Micromanagement. I work in a place where there is a clock in machine. Yet at 10am every morning, our dept gets a call asking if everyone is in the office (even though they have CCTV and a clock-in machine) 🙃

[@cryptojoecoin5480]

As a middle manager, you are doomed. No matter how fair, congenial, and respectful you are, the employees gun for you on day one. No one respects chain of command. No one respects others. I just wish the whole rotten system would collapse.

[@People_R_Foolish]

That doesn't sound like management material. Maybe one that wishes the system to collapse is really the problem. I would never respect a management person with such a poor attitude.

[@dutchbachelor]

I would HATE to have my manager's job. He sits in meetings pretty much all day, every day. Not that he wants to, but he must. In part he's victim to the same mechanisms we are. He just got yet another hat to wear, while he already had his hands full as it was.

[@cryptojoecoin5480]

@@dutchbacheloryou’re wise and a rare bird these days. Your family life is obviously going well. The core problem is that these employee 🤡s bring their personal issues into work. The manager is not your miserable father from your miserable past. So, acknowledge that truth, and treat him/her with respect or leave. Destroying someone’s career with deceit and treachery is not an option. Unfortunately, this cultural disease can’t be cured.

@@People_R_FoolishAnyone who wants to perpetuate a slave system is deceived. You’re a slave to the central bankers, and it would help you and the people around you for you to realize that. Collapse is the only chance for freedom. If 2020 didn’t wake you up, then you are too far gone.

[@dutchbachelor]

I dunno, but you have to have a pretty darned good job that you can maintain a family on a single income these days. I can sustain myself and have a bit to spare, but that's it and my salary is quite a bit above average. And I have been working for 23 years now. That time has long since passed.

[@smc1942]

[@ljhhhgmmu]

Absolutely 💯 perfect what you said. Professional people can't work with low grade teams.

[@dutchbachelor]

And low grade can apply to anyone. Our company has a habit of hiring people from the REALLY big boys. We are an SMB with maybe 100 employees. They are talking about strategies and time to market and customer journey, while at the same time, some of the most basic stuff you need to function as a company still are not in place, so you have to reinvent the wheel every couple of months Them failing to recognize that over and over again is what I call low grade. And some of those people make five figures a month.

[@rikadew]

Also, the manager/leader that thinks whatever they say goes because of their position. I'm an executive and I'm saying we do it this way smh

[@dutchbachelor]

Well, that's fair depending on the situation. If they disregard any and all input, that's toxic. But if they do listen and then make a fair decision, that's ok for me. Unlike our management, who cannot even decide on how to name things for years. A service we offer to our customers has been renamed probably 5 times in as many years...

How can someone give you an allergic reaction? That makes zero sense. Why should everyone else have to change for you? What makes you better than the others? Maybe they all want wear fragrance. Why should they have to alter their life for you? Seems really selfish. What would you sue over? You can't handle fragrance? Get a life snowflake.

[@rahelehghasabzadeh9844]

Micromanagement

[@BillClinton228]

I just started working at this new company and from the beginning I knew something wasn't right. There was no communication, boss hides basic things from us and favoritism is openly shown to certain employees without any care in the world and any input or suggestions are immediately shut down by more senior people. Also, you're just told to do different things, in my industry it can take weeks to familiarize yourself with certain projects so just being told to get on another project out of the blue means you will always be behind and never really know what you're doing. So you're really setup to fail and after working here for 3 months I've completely lost interest in everything.
