There are many things that make a workplace toxic. Some mention that Baker is an extremely toxic place, but not why they think so, that is, what is it that makes this place so toxic?
Among the many reasons, I would single out the lack of clarity around projects, which has been extremely frustrating for me lately.
Can we go ahead and add incompetent $tinky Curry in many management roles to this list of toxic items in the workplace?
Lack of support for pretty much anything, any legit concerns fall on deaf ears in management, having your fellow coworkers who have valid grievances with the company like we all do take it out on other coworkers just to make everyone else miserable.
It means so called leaders who provide you with no training then call you out for not knowing how to use certain systems.
The same leaders who go on about ‘support’ while provide none, then when sh-t hits the fan you are thrown under the bus to save their own skin.
Services was a truly horrible place to work.
It is a combination of things and certain specific events in my view. General issues are lack of training, no career progression whatsoever (the message these days is that you are responsible for your own career so they don't have to take an interest themselves), favouritisms, lack of responses and/or feedbacks (e-mails are no longer responded to, it really depends on who you are if you will get an asnwer or not even if the process requires an answer by the responsible persons; if you call someone and insist to get something out of them, in particular if they are decision makers at a higher level than you are, it can be very dangerous, they can be pi---d at you and can do everything in their power to cause issues like last minute rejections, no show at compulsory meetings, etc. etc.), no recognition (although they must have read now somewhere that recognition is a cheap way to increase retention and so they just started thanking people randomnly at the various all hands without really knowing who in reality did most of the work and should really take the credit), etc. However the worst thing I have seen in my entire career is when I was asked, after 3 years of pushing to move to a certain position, to do a personal development plan and I was told that, in order to move, I needed to "get along" with a certain guy. Was even suggested to reach out to the few folks that have a good relationship with this guy to get some advices out of them. I think that sums it up for me.
