When you search for 'toxic culture,' you'll find it defined as a work environment where negativity, disrespect, and dysfunctional behavior are deeply ingrained. It harms people’s well-being, morale, and performance within the business and organization.

It’s the employers’ doing. Only.
And it hurts employees. Only.
