I just left a job I once loved. I've known that I've needed to quit for a while now... I've been watching podcasts and now this video. Every single one of those was my previous job. My last shift was Friday night and I've left so much happier since leaving already. I worked their almost 3 years.

Toxic workplace is filled with jobsworths and middle managers who do little other than who pass work along to a small overworked and under appreciated cohort.

I found this video after a very restless night. I have been at a new job only 8 months and there are numerous issues.. Like the frog in the pot of water, it's been getting hotter over time and I have been ignoring the signs.

the fact that i am googling toxic work- i am sure of a person on my team- controlling, the others are the flying monkies, cordial but, not trustful. I will be professional, show up do my job, stay neutral- all i can do. But, i am google this because one team member is stepping over boundaries. ARGH. I am new...but, i am not new to the job.

Some of these things are the same thing-- like a poor communication from a boss or higher ups leads to more gossip and drama. I am right now in a work environment where I am one of the older workers. There is a clique of younger recent college graduates who all act like they are still in 8th grade and often one of the bonding rituals is to target someone like me (older 'uncool' worker just minding their own business) and create drama, rumors and gossip around that person. Let me just say they have no idea what health issues I may be dealing with or what is going on with my family because I don't bring it to work, but their constant gossip and cliquey garbage just makes me want to quit. I would like to think if they knew my personal struggles outside of work they wouldn't target me this way, but they are a viscious pack of wolverines when together. They are okay one on one, they'd never say what gets said to impress each other in a group.

How about this……nobody wants to be there

What a fantastic video! I think you covered it all really well. I would like to ask, how on earth can we try and screen these employers during the interview process? It would be nice to find questions to come prepared with to a job interview so that it can help reveal these types of red flags before stepping into the company. What questions can we ask in the job interviews?

Everything you described here happened to me at my recently concluded engineering internship. Gladly I took all the evidence and kept them with me lol. Funny enough they were so toxic including the Managers that they always thought to be right. No reflection of any kind. Either ways, thanks for the video.

The one about the unmotivated workers gives me the first result, but also a third one: anger and resentment at the lazy and unmotivated employees. Also, is a turnover of roughly 70 percent and up really high? Especially for restaurants? And I think I'm definitely experiencing the burnout.

I work in a cubicle space with a clique. I’ve tried to ask my boss if I can move but she won’t allow it she told me to be more social.

I'm encountering all this in my current work place

Really SOLID video‼️ Thanks‼️

Thank you so much for this video. Agree on all points!

Your so right. I need to go see myd octor. I'm so stressed

Everything you point out is my job low energy always negative every single day

I have worked a several toxic places including now, I have come to the conclusion that this the way all places are, I basically make what I did almost 30 years ago. My trade is a has been and not respected.

great topic

Omg i can relate to all of this everything on this list.....

Gut reaction……..overcrowded stock room I have to organize product in a small room

Too many “drivers” personality leads to tense angry environment

I made a blog article with a good tabel of all the signs you can notice even before being hired, during the interview, so you don't even fall for it.

Healthier place to work please

I’m at a place with toxic positivity and gaslighting. It’s the sales reps’ fault, not terrible marketing

Some of the things that happened back in the day before cameras were set up at the workplace may have been toxic. I can think of one situation….imagine a bunch of guys holding you down so they can cut your rat tail of a haircut off if you were a guy amongst a bunch of meat cutters in a supermarket or if they tied up a Hispanic man with plastic wrap

How about this….my boss hates to stop what he’s doing to answer the phone, I’m the one that gets stuck answering it

I come to the Conclusion that the most Bosses are loosers!

Labeling a company as one that needs to "shape up" or get dumped is a sign of poor advice. In most cases, no doctor sends a patient through red alert unless there are several troubling symptoms, so to tell someone they need to change a company they work for or get out is setting that person up for failure. I'm not saying that your topics (symptoms) are illegitimate, but take more care about what you prescribe. These issues should at the very least be addressed with one applicable solution, not just with the advise of telling a company to shape up or get out.
