What's the most toxic incident you've come across at your workplace?

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

Everyone started being really cold rude and unhelpful to me in the office, even those I had never interacted with.

Turns out the guy sitting next to me was a social butterfly and was spreading rumours like i killed my pet cat, like wtf.

So is that the cat in the cat in the pic? And why did you kill it. Lol.

On a serious note, how can people believe other people so easily

A coworker never joins our team meetings and silently makes changes to our design files. Never takes feedback but is the first one to give it. Passive aggressively +1s every opposing comment by other people. Basically doesn’t know how to work in a team and thinks he’s more intelligent than everyone else on the team. He’s also been ignorantly sexist. I’m at my wits end and I’m honestly thinking of quitting because of this guy.

Why quit and not report the person?

I’m not sure if my concern will be heard. A lot of things are dismissed by leadership saying “we’ll fix it” rather than actually taking the time out to figure out what the problem is.

My prev org used to have really aggressive managers. They’ll end up calling you at 2am if they want to release something. Had a terrible wlb. Ended up quitting it :/

My manager in my previous company was super nosey and micro manager. She made one of the leads to monitor me whole day, by sharing screen in pandemic time. I quit after a week.

I had this pathetic manager of mine who had typically made my life miserable ..she would literally yell and torture me ..and i mean "Yell" at me for the smallest of mistakes ..she was an horrid experience i ever faced professionally tbh..specially after facing a personal loss and going through counselling. It was a testing time for me . One day i mustered the courage to complain about her on a coffee session with the founder .. he politely listened to me and took action. Turns out, she always had that kind of negative reputation and was known for her shitty behaviour among her peers in office
