It seems vast majorities of us have worked in places where toxic and unhealthy business cultures are rampant. You may feel that you are the problem, but I am here to tell you that is NOT true! Toxic work cultures are deeply rooted in oppression and replicate the nastiness of our society. So, what do you do if you work in a culture that is unhealthy?
