Dealing with toxic people at work

How do you guys deal with toxic people in tech, especially when they are your seniors or you work with them everyday? We are a small team and the senior I have is an extremely shit person. We decide something while design discussions, and product discussion but he changes his mind and asks to completely revamp the solution after it's implemented. Extremely close-minded to new or different ideas or different ways of doing things. Also frequently insults people on the call. I know one solution is to leave the company but that can't always be the case and when the team is small, sometimes these people become unavoidable. So looking for ideas on how other people deal with toxic peers/seniors in their workplace.

I am a fresher just out of college, I have had the unfortunateness that I have gotten some toxic seniors where they just bash me for no reason at all, if I ask some questions to them they always give a sarcastic reply and when I do not understand something that they try to tell me and I ask questions they just stare me down, I'm just close to 1.5 months in the job. I have been hesitant till now to speak up to my manager but I will do now, bcz the situations have gotten worse with time, so much so that I am thinking of resigning to get away from this bullshit environment. I am just thinking of completing this quarter and then I'll put in my papers bcz water has gone above the head. Relatives and parents tell me to stay for some more time and see if things change but they haven't, every day feels like a challenge, work hours are pretty shit 11 am - 2am, sometimes 3am. Whereas others who joined with me got good seniors, who when they ask something always help them out. One of my frnds had a long day at work due to some error that he made in an analysis report due to which his whole team had to stay till 11 pm. Nobody bashed him for that, just made him know that learn from this and try to not repeat it. When he returned back to home he had a smile on his face and said my seniors backed me and made me understand where I went wrong and how to correct it, this is how work environment should be. If people are good, work hours are not a problem. Other people raised it with their seniors and they(friend's senior) also said that this is so not acceptable in the workplace. I'm eyeing other companies in the same domain to get to a better workplace where I am valued and no one bashes someone for not knowing things. I'm fed up of this corporate life in the first 2 months only. Money is good here but at what cost. How do you see this? Or how shall I approach this problem?

I am working as SDE 1 in a good Indian startup. It's getting toxic day by day. Late night workings like 3AM and working on weekends is normalised like anything. Since I am new to IT ( no sort of politics never) and have almost 2.5 Years of experience, I am facing issues in getting credits. Last appraisal cycle in January, I was nominated for promotion but wasn't given to me, reason: you have not worked with architect and he was making decisions. In that case, architect should have been distributed tasks to us. one SDE3 is leading one of the projects ( not a big one ) and manager/architect is not much interested and never join any standup or retro, I have contributed immensely to that. Now since it is completely driven by sde 3 , he takes updates from us and show his work infront of seniors and director + announces like his work and seldom we get thank you in threads. Like if you did one function or wrote complete flow, for both thank you. Because of all these reasons, my work is not getting recognised. There is no one in team to help in this. Whenever a manager or Architect show cases some features or release, it's pretty evident that his team has done it but when a sde 3 does it, it is not the same. It conveys the message all or 90% work is done by him. I would like to take some suggestions from my seniors and fellow mates here. Hierarchy - sde 1-2-3-4-EM I can't leave or switch right now due to some critical persona reasons.

Hi , this post is intended to be a disclaimer to anyone who is planning to join Yubi. A lot of things are happening here that show some signs of an impending layoff 1) Several senior folks in tech and product have quit. Also there is no replacement hiring planned for them. Several projects are also getting shelved as a result. 2) there were several open roles a few weeks back and almost all of them are on hold as of now across all depts( tech , business , ops) 3) rampant cost cutting. The lunch options have been reduced to just 1 dal , 1 veg , rice and chapati. Snacks have been removed too. Because of several folks quitting in less than 6 months and no replacement hiring , load has increased tremendously on existing members who are themselves trying to leave. People have serious doubts on whether any hike or bonus will be given or not this year.

What are the things that people do or behaviours they display classify as toxic?

Currently working for Foreign Startup, under a Indian Engineering Manager. Manager is incompetent, doesn't like disagreemets. If you disagree with him, then he goes to length to make your life diffult. Already seen few examples in the team. There are red flag all over the place. I'm not sure how upper management is not able to catch him. He does the politics, favoritism, etc... List goes on and on. Any help would be appreciated. P.S Don't want to leave the company in this market.

Myself working in a E-commerce firm. Where CTO is such a hypocrite, he wants to control everything and everyone. Like Micro Management to the extreme. Any suggestions rather than leaving this job immediately.

Toxic partner, toxic manager, toxic senior. BUT I LOVE MY COMPANY AND WORK PROFILE. What should be done?

I recently started a new job. I would like to share some of the experiences I have had with my manager. I am wondering if these are red flags or if I am maybe being paranoid or thinking too much. It was quite difficult for me to get into this company and this job. The company is quite great and I was quite excited but some of the experiences I have had with my immediate manager have made me a bit apprehensive. I would like to share them and hear opinions about it. Here are some things which have happened which I have not liked so far - 1. I speak to a Senior Engineer one day and next day my manager asks me if anyone asked me to speak to him. 2. I shared an insight about a new tool which we can use on a deployment pipeline on the overall pod (under my skip manager). My manager immediately called me and started asking my status update and replied 'Discussing 1-1' in the group to prevent anyone getting visibility of the idea. 3. My manager pings me whenever I go offline and recently he asked me in a passive aggressive way, 'Please monitor your Teams status. It was away for most of today.' I now feel kind of paranoid to never get up as I feel my Teams status is being monitored.
