This makes me sick. How can these people claim they are working on being financially responsible when this type of rewarding continues?

Quiet Firing

I've seen a few articles circulate on Linkedin and other newsletters about toxic workplaces.

The frequency of these articles indicates toxic workplaces are still very much prevalent, despite the "enlightenment" of media pushes towards diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

This one is yet another with seven obvious signs of how an employee can be pushed out of a company.

It's also an obvious way a company can avoid negative press (whether it's someone's social media or a public media channel). And, a way to avoid having to deal with severance packages.

I've experienced this sadly at a few places. Most of the time it's because I took a job I was over-qualified for. Sometimes it's happened because my supervisor wasn't strong enough to back my good ideas when other managers dismissed or disregarded my work. There are times when a corporate culture can be too strong for even a supervisor to stand up to--thus being relegated to preserving his or her own position in the organization.

I work very hard to evolve and become more emotionally intelligent, and. yet I am still shocked when I see people who don't have healthy communication skills.

Then again, the results of the 2024 election has also shown me that there is a huge country of people who don't think like I do.
