OMG this is supposed to be a forum about company layoffs. It used to be nearly silent with just a very few old threads from years ago about Alteryx.
This year it has become a majorly toxic cesspool of personal insults and complaints about executives and a venting ground about the company. Trolls abound, and there are numerous sock puppets here. I’ve never seen a forum like this where so much $h1t was stirred up over nothing, so publicly. This place is really horrible. OMG.
Don't all online boards eventually deteriorate into a toxic cesspool, though? At least this board has an excuse to be toxic: people are getting laid off. That's not a topic that will bring about positive conversation unless you're in upper management, where the layoffs don't typically impact you.
It is what it is.
If toxic is a theme across countless posts on numerous platforms , is it possible there’s a culture problem?
"Over nothing", sure Paula.
Totally agree that lately this board and all other social media employees chat on don’t give Alterix a good rap. Also, the word “toxic” seems to be appearing more and more, usually in a connection with workplace culture.
But honestly, I'm scratching my head over what the rest of @OP ‘s posts is about. All these platforms we hang out on don’t allow naming non-execs and have mods who clean up racism, name-dropping, and personal insults regularly, so it can’t be that.
Maybe @OP is confused between criticism and straight-up personal attacks. In that case, someone should enlighten @OP that not every negative opinion about the management's work is a personal insult.
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Screaming, crying, perfect storms.
