Is your job secretly toxic? It’s easy to spot a toxic workplace when the signs are obvious, but some toxic companies have subtle signs - and some put on a dream job facade and trick you into thinking the only problem is you. This not only makes it hard to spot, it can keep you in that toxic work environment longer, corrode your confidence, and make your life miserable. I wish I had known the subtle signs of a toxic workplace before I was in one, so today I’m sharing them with you so you don’t get caught in one.

Which subtle signs of a toxic workplace did you experience?

[popo-yqje]

"we're family but you're replaceable..."

[madelinesummers]

Long term employees who cause high turnover was so prevalent at one place I worked at. Openly harassing the new hires and creating toxicity all around. I was so surprised how many of them didn’t get fired.

[gerary]

‘Fake’ mandatory department team meetings where people are cheerleading but after the meeting all you hear are complaints and moans.

[nurse.christian]

I had someone say that they felt like I didn’t like them because I never tell them personal things about myself. I was floored by the self centeredness and manipulation for details.

All they want to do is use your personal information against you! Don’t fall for it. 🤦‍♂️❌❌❌

Once I started seeing my former work place as a cult, it was easier to leave.

Yesterday was my last day at a job like this. I'm glad I didn't get stuck because imagine the power gaslighting has over people. ALWAYS trust your intuition.

I went to work for a very large law firm that touted its "work-life balance, " which turned out to be completely false in practice

Giant red flag: nepotism arrangements. When the boss' wife/husband works in the office. Especially if they're not qualified for the role. Run far, far away and don't ever accept the job. Nothing good ever comes out of that. Or any form of nepotism really (friends, family members, etc). You, as the employee, will always be "wrong". Not to mention, if you have a legitimate complaint about a spouse, you can't exactly bring that up to the boss. Nepotism harms morale in the office.

I worked at a company ten years ago, where I had a two-hour orientation, then spent the rest of my first week loading software on my company laptop. If your software didn't work, you had to figure it all out yourself, then ask for help later. If you had to ask anyone to fix anything more than once, you got lectured about how "we're having this conversation again"!

I'm submitting my resignation letter on Monday. Been working at my current toxic workplace for three years and things are only going from bad to worse. Getting out before shit gets real.

The long-term employees are usually the bullies who work the least. The worse thing is management knows but still decide to retain them.

[abgy]

Avoid places that bang on about their “best place to work awards.” I’ve found them to be the very worst!

[zohramartini]

Actually there can be nothing more toxic than a family, if the family deals with secrets and undealt traumas... That is the worst thing ever

[niggaflies]

My favorite line is “The coworker that speeds more gossip than TMZ”. Lol 😂

[FracturedReality]

Best place to work awards are usually bought or manipulated somehow. Saw this at a previous employer.

A guy asked me every day for a month "your back? Your still here?" It wasnt until 3rd month that i realized it was so so toxic because the first company i worked at was amazing. So i just assumed it wasnt as nice but then i realized it was not just not as nice hut actually incredibly toxic. Still trying to get out 9 montns later but job market is tough and i dont want to jump into another shit show.

Go in, get your head down, get your job done, don't interact with the narcs or the borderlines or the egotistical, simply reply with one word answering and trust your gut, collect your wages at the end of the month or week and don't do work gatherings Xmas party's etc, this way you won't get dragged into any toxic encounters.

It was pretty recent revelation for me that a proper onboarding is common practice. I've only been properly on-boarded once, and it was one of the best jobs i had

[ryanalexander]

My current Job has so many of these. When I interviewed they told me I got a 1st shift position. So I quit my other job only for them to tell me on my first day of work that the 1st shift job was no longer available and I had to be put on third shift. 5 different people got turned in to HR in one week for various reason. Then they always hit you with the "We're Family" although they have a high turnover and gossip about the same people they have such with everyday. We work 7 days a week so there is no life work balance. I also have a co-worker that would ignore me and roll their eyes at me when I would speak. Once I started distancing myself I became the bad guy and start hearing rumors. Then people started taking sides while I just want to do my job and go home...It's a highly aggressive atmosphere for no reason. It's an easy job.

Lol surest way to get fired is to hang up a sign that says poor planning on your part doesnt make it and emergency on my part.
