10 signs you're in a toxic work environment

1) You're watching a video to see whether your work environment qualifies lol

[reidsb]

"Being made to feel like a failure in a job you've otherwise been very effective in" - Nailed it right on the head, the exact issue at my last job.

[andresilva]

You know your job is draining when:

1) Fridays feel way too good. Sunday’s are not enjoyable.

2) the drive to the work place is the worst part.

3) need the strength to get in the office.

4) every month feels like a year.

[spurple]

Lol Almost every job I've been in has been toxic. The most disappointing thing about getting into the workforce was realizing that high school never ends for a lot of people. I've never been so disappointed when I realized how immature a lot of "adults" were. The gossiping is especially a big problem and has caused so much damage to people's lives and reputations. I've had so many jobs so I can feel on the first day whether or not I'm going to come back the next day.

[pozloadescobar]

ALWAYS ask the interviewer how they train new employees. Is there documentation? Is there a training plan at all? If not, take this as a HUGE red flag

[TheCivildecay]

When I drove up to the parkinglot of the place I worked, and had to sit in my car for 5 minutes to gather the strength to stand up and enter the office, I knew this place wasn't for me.

[rocksoliddude]

A word of advice, never stay at a toxic work place "just for the money" and "until something better comes along" because over a short time the toxic people will drain you to such a point that looking for another better job is barely possible and you could end up stuck there. When you are exhausted mentally and physically and have little time outside of that workplace to apply, you could find yourself miserable amongst horrible people for months or even years. If your confidence is knocked potential employers will see this and it will go against you if you do get interviews.

[fsus]

I’ve left jobs because of drama and toxic environments only to go into another toxic situation… it’s everywhere! I hate it.

[TheCivildecay]

I also found working for a small/medium sized "family company" is a horrible experience.

[Khailward]

"You want to find companies that will actually value you."

So none of them.

[testicarls]

Staff turnover is usually a good indication. If its a toxic work place people don't tend to stay very long

[itsmeheathermarie]

This is a warning before taking a job, but if they say "we're like a family here"....RUN.

[ahuehuete]

If you feel despair on Sunday night, knowing you have to go to work tomorrow, you work in a toxic workplace.

[brandonlee]

dishonesty, gossip, and going behind your back are, in my experience, a package deal

[aussjlink]

Be wary of management that tries to call you family. It means they expect you to do things only family members would.

[nocrtname]

I have dealt with / witnessed some of the most ridiculous things in my career. Lying, setting other ppl up, backstabbing, blatant racism, public shaming / belittling, screaming & shouting, and ppl protecting each other from accountability. Makes such a huge difference in your mental health.

[brian]

unfortunately this is becoming the norm nowadays, don't ever be loyal to a company its just work for a living

[ashleyhockenberry]

Always be prepared to move companies. Do not remain in a toxic stew for too long - extricate yourself and run for freeedom!

[fancifrance]

I have been in the work force for 35 years. 90% of all my jobs apply to these categories. It is no wonder so many people did not want to go back to work after COVID.

[rominagresely]

Being harassed on a daily basis is a toxic work environment. At one job people knitpicked what I had for lunch. Even a yogurt was under scrutiny. Another job my coworkers were trying to match me up with another coworker. When I worked at a hair salon, my supervisor kept telling me to cut my hair because it was "too long ". It barely grazed my shoulder. My blood pressure was high for years because of these jobs.
