This video is so on point and should be something that is incorporated in executive management staff meetings.

There is NOTHING like an empathic leader and empathic coworkers. You like going to work even those days you don't want to go.

I am over 50, and have very, very rarely had a non-toxic workplace and/or manager, of course more from smaller companies than from multinational, multi billion dollar ones. Nearly every workplace makes me feel like a beat dog. It is no wonder that I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I can remember. I wish we lived in a world that followed Dr. Ramani’s advice.

Please do more videos on workplace bullying, mobbing etc

I'm a career and life coach and a survivor of NPD abuse. I'd estimate that 70% of my clients reach out to me because they are in a toxic workplace. I do a lot of work with toxic workforce trauma recovery. It is really important, if you come from a toxic and abusive family of origin, to be very careful about accepting a position where the company claims to be "a family." And if you have a healthy family of origin, also be careful! Insecure leaders are absolutely toxic. Definitely ask questions about what "being a family" means to them. Be very aware of the environment when you are in the interview. Watch body language. Do people seem comfortable with one another? Do you hear laughter or sense tension? Great video, as usual! Love this channel.

I worked in a law firm for two months- in that time every single person I met was negative about the company, 8 people walked out and one suicide attempt. It wasn’t so much red flags it was big giant red rocks. I walked. Best thing I ever did.

I worked for a law firm where they would pile on the work regardless of how overwhelmed you were. In fact, they would give you more and more work every week. We literally had paralegals crying in the bathroom, consoling each other in the parking lot, going into their supervisor’s office crying and telling them they were on the verge of a mental breakdown, and nothing was ever done. They would view you as a weak link and put you on probation and eventually fire the person. They had a high turn over needless to say. The place was a Sh*t Show!

I know two business owners that opened a beautifully blissful and fabulously delicious cafe in 1981 (38 years ago). The Oak Table Cafe is BY FAR the BEST place to eat on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. They still employ wonderful people that have been with them since the beginning; I have literally watched their staff grow old in their cafe. They love and nurture their staff as family-and have become THE BEST there is as a business in my book! The world has traded money for love and thus has bred a global epidemic of cold-hearted narcissists! What a self-centered, horrifying nightmare! There is no happiness apart from love.

Dr. Ramani is awesome and her advise and knowledge always resonates with me.

thank you for speaking about this topic. i've been working in an office for the past year with only one other person.. no one "up above" ever checks in on us, i don't think i've ever even met my "supervisor." my partner here would have no idea how much i'm struggling.. i have never felt such deep pain, depression, anxiety and isolation. i know it's time to move on, i'm just waiting for another job opportunity to arise... sending my love to anyone experiencing these feelings.

This channel is underrated, your advices are so important that everyone should see this

So many managers and above are oppressive, money-driven, simplistic, misguided souls. The advice at the end was brilliant.

The doctor had really valuable advice. I would like to say though that in the past few years corporate jobs see such high attrition rates and people move so fast between employers that it’s impossible to make this happen. Long gone are times where you worked for the same organization for a lifetime, it was part of your life, your colleagues were your friends and stood by you through thick and thin! I envy my dads generation for this social support that their workplace afforded them.

I’m so irritated with the hypocrisy of mental health agencies where I live who are “trauma informed” but yet are not actively cultivating that type of culture in the workplace. I don’t understand it. This video makes so much sense and you would think that a mental health agency would be the prime example... i pray that this is just in the area I live in. 😔 it’s hard wanting to leave a job you are good at and effects so many people positively.

As an Executive Assistant...this speaks to me. A lot!

Dr. R, a video on toxic/crazy next door neighbors?

This is such a really good talk. Every work place should go through this lessions. Every work place has a dark side and need to be fixed.

Dude I’m still waiting for the channel to hit a million. It’s overdue!

I think the context in which one works plays a major role in how they approach mental health. An example is working in a military context where being tough is looked upon as being a valuable asset.

My boss needs to see this.

I love Kyle and Dr. Ramani you both are so inspiring by the way you talk. Keep bringing the awesome content. I struggle with BPD and I work in a very hostile work environment. And sadly corporate doesn’t do enough when it come down to disrespecting of other people and how that will bring a person down so fast. It’s unbelievable.

Great relevant and interesting content!! Love your work Medcircle!! Kyle & Dr Ramani are a dynamic duo!!

Well... I told my manager about a colleague who is a narcissist and how he puts other people down in order to boost his self image, and, how he controls all of that and after a short while he (my former manager) left for a different team. I think this goes both ways. Employees should be able to tell of their colleagues when they are toxic. Good job on this video. 🙌🏻✌🏻

HR people are often disturbed as well so they are in sync with corporate culture. To appeal to them sounds ineffective to say the least.

I am enjoying these talks, helpful informative...taking care of me...from the inside out. Thank you!

Both of you are sooo great. I really hope I can meet you someday :) Love from Canada

How do you overcome the fear of being labeled & perceived as not good enough for the job, or the kind of recommendations they'll give you if you're open & vulnerable?

DISCUSS HOARDING PLEASE (sorry about the caps but I need to figure out my whole childhood). Thank you. Your work is very much appreciated.

Such a crisis --a profit driven world... profit before people.

Love this site well done guys it’s so informative love the doc xx

I can only wish I was working with people like Dr. Ramani

Dr. Ramani is the best

I am a project manager and would love any literature that goes more in depth on creating a healthy work environment.

My last workplace was a joke... posters everywhere about mental health while constantly utting employees under a microscope and pressure even despite their own personal problems. It was all a facade a total joke. It made my physically ill and made my mental health very bad. Great people left and more narc toxic people came in as they thrive in those environments, it got so toxic and awful. Hated it.. employers don't give a damn these days! Whilst paying narc managers and shareholders a tonne and turning a blind eye to any abuse of the employees who do all the work. It is a crisis! 🙋🙏

There's a mentally healthy work place?

I wish i could find that place!

11:29 Kyle's face kills me lol! He knows Dr. Ramani means business

It's very true! I do believe what you said and tried to inform people around me about it, for many years. Unfortunately no one cares especially in a third world country 😢

You’d be surprised how many companies don’t actually seem to care about profit - when it comes down to office politics. It’s too much effort for them to address they would rather lose the money

always a pleasure to see you both . the glasses don't seem to be visually balanced but that's just me .where is the beautiful dog ? MERRY CHRISTMAS .

As of retail worker bee for a huge corporation, how about simply giving us the hours and manpower needed to do our damn jobs? Or at least, maybe they could stop trying to gaslight us about their demand we accomplish the workloads of 3 people in the same amount of time while simultaneously staving off toxic behaviors from the general public.

I was just thinking about that, and bam ! The answer 😎

#RicckyKa Outstanding ... Thanks for sharing. I am glad that people like us are motivating people and sharing valuable knowledge for global awareness. #RicckyKa.

Work enviroment is the mind set that God can fix everything. If you just ask God!!!! No such thing as depression its all a case of just change your mindset. It is so soul destroying and exhausting showing up to get through a days work and smile. This video is so amazing!! Thank you

Funny you brought up a dental office as I work in one and it is so toxic... this past year I developed a fragrance allergy where my lungs close up, i start to sweat perfusely, my heart races, panic washes over me bc I am scared of lungs closing up or lungs are closing up, my face and body goes red, i may start to stutter... I have communicated this issue to my employer and coworkers many times... the dentist I work actually has seen me have a reaction to patients wearing fragrances... under the law it is my employers responsibility to uphold the health and safety of the workplace. My health issue falls under a disability which requires him to accommodate that by informing patients that we've transitioned to a fragrance free office. When I had initially told him about this he did nothing. When I sent him a link to Ontario health and safety website stating his duties he only printed off sign and posted it in waiting room, nothing more. I saw the sign and realized no one is going to really bother reading it so I created a poster myself using canva with color and priniting it at a printing store and laminating it with my own money. I replaced the black and white one he posted with mine but it has not done anything as patients are not being informed verbally. My cowrker who behaves like the boss says by law we can not tell ppl not to wear fragrance as it infringes on their rights. I said what about my right and need to breathe. She says what do you expect ppl not to bath because of you. what else do you want us to do for you, we are not going to turn the office upside down for you. Complete lack of empathy.... we are talking about my breathing.. its not that I have an issue with ppls wanting to wear it but it is making me sick and interfering with me being able to do my job and feel safe and protected. We had a staff meeting where I was once again reminded that they are not going to inform pateints as they don't want to offend them aka lose patients possibly meaning money. So the issue is placing profit above my health. The next day doctor told me he noticed cowrker attacking me but says I am looking too deeply into it and suggested I start drinking alcohol. I have this on audio, both the meeting and him saying to drink. It has def affected my mental health in a very negative way where I feel less than and hopeless. I do not trust that when I stand up for myself things will happen.. I do not trust words anymore. They tell me they value me but clearly that is a lie... the words and actions are incongruent. Most workplaces do not give a shit about their employees mental health.. I have never worked anywhere where ppl's feelings and mental health were respected and nurtured in my many years of working.

How would you categorize a work place where we mainly laugh most of the day?.

A+

I knew it!!! Thank you for confirming my theory!!!!!!! And also thank you very much for changing my life!!!!! I'll see you sometime guys to thank you with a tequila battle hahahahahaaha!!!!!!

The senior management and HR of my previous workplace don't care of employees' mental health at all, so almost everyone in my team have run away from there.

To most employers, employees are a dime a dozen. Why care about their physical or psychical health? If they can't perform and comply any more, throw them into the garbage and get someone new and fresh. Also, young people can be paid less. So, why bother?

Hi can you do negative and positive symptoms about paranoid schizophrenia as I think I have got it thankyou

My workplace caring about my mental health? What a joke! I went into viral heart failure (my heart was only working at 15%) and my manager asked me why I couldn't work. My disability insurer called me a week after I was diagnosed and literally screamed at me to get back to work.

Dr Ramini, is there a book about Narcissism written for the narcissist? Something that is geared towards helping them understand the disorder, something written in a sympathetic tone which might make it easier for them to accept that diagnosis? I am very certain my mother has NPD, not just "is a narcissist." She has had relationship problems and work problems all her life and currently struggles with homelessness. I tried to let her stay with me, but she really dislikes me, ( I am the scapegoat child) and it did not work at all. No matter how terribly she has treated me, she is my mother, and I care about her. Her narcissism causes her pain too, not just those around her. She has seen Psychologists her entire adult life, and because she tells a victim story no one has diagnosed her correctly and treated her. (She has a very high IQ and she very much so has the victim role perfected.) I know you say Narcissists are not willing to change, but her life has gone so far down the drain I think she would, but I think she would recoil at being painted as a victimizer, because she so identifies as the victim. Any suggestions for a book I could send her would be very welcomed.

I believe the toxic workplace starts at the top & trickles down to mgt. The people at the top are disconnected w/ everyone below them. Then, in mgt., many lack communication skill sets & are being pressured by upper mgt. & shareholders to sell at all costs & do whatever you have to as we will back you, creating extremely toxic environments. Instead of actually communicating w/us, Corp. launches these silly culture programs that don't do a thing. The beat downs will continue until morale improves.

Military needs this training! So many weird toxic behaviors

Here's your Xmas web-page gift back at you, 'cause "That's life, some journey huh? 🎠

How to deal with a narrasstic stalker who tries to involve himself in your everyday life without you seeing them in the vicinity? I used to work with this guy years ago and he goes out of his way to get men out of my life that he feels threatening to him. I have noticed that he's got several friends who have the same problems as he does.... I have seen one of his female friends stalk her boyfriend and me for her friend who is the one who's stalking me....

To many managers who go directly into said position without paying their dues by working their way up the ladder. To many young ignorant managers who believe that they must rule with an iron fist to be respected but this has the opposite effect. No empathy, no support, no understanding, no team work. My manager is an absolute idiot and tyrant so I'm speaking from experience. I hate working and now do the minimal and just punch in and out. No going the extra mile anymore especially when it's not appreciated! 😡

You're sitting on the wrong sides and it totally threw me off!

Where is the star??? Is she at doggie daycare?

Most adds for jobs. " Busy office, Fast paced environment, lots of multitasking, flexibility for overtime hours, oh ya and attention to detail" all with NO support, NO feedback, NO recognition, NO appreciation. And why is burn out so prevalent in the workplace? WTF, most work places are looking for robots!!!😠😡🤬

I would guess 500 million lost productivity dollars

I'm honesty very concerned for everyone who knows Kyle. Bc he displays basically all the signs of being a covert narcissist.

Y'all idgaf about a healthy workplace tf 💀 make a video on how to spot a covert narcissist (bc Kyle kind of seems like one)
