It would probably help if you spelled out what you mean by toxic in this circumstance. There are some grades of toxicity that go from mildly annoying to police involvement.


Agreed. Toxicity is such a broad range of behaviours that really a fuller story needs to accompany the posted topic.


i also agree, and apologize for not narrowing it down. the reason is probably that the circumstance overarch the various degrees this term may entail.

but it generally involves throwing blames for mistakes or delays, inconsiderate/provocative language, disorganisation and lack of focus ...


If you cannot leave (which is a lot harder than some folks believe), then documentation is basically your main answer. E-mail eventually hangs a lot of people. Sadly, a lot of this stuff is solved by the exit interviews with HR, but then its generally too late.


It’s the dose that makes the poison.
