Toxic Workplace
Приєднався 21 жов 2021
This podcast was created to give employees a voice; the voice that management wouldn't listen to because of deep rooted company politics, misuse of power, or a lack of leadership. This show gives a platform to the employee that was never allowed a last word, or who's words had no value to management. Toxic Workplace is not just a collection of stories; it's a movement towards awareness of how dysfunctional patterns of behavior in the workplace can wreak havoc on your body, mind and spirit. Through candid narratives, listeners will gain invaluable insights into the profound personal growth and newfound perspectives that can emerge from surviving soul-crushing workplace dynamics.

Congrats to Miranda to protect herself...
I have listen this podcast with such a interest as I am currently going through the hell with my employer who behaves the same as the one you talked about. The narcisistic boss is such a cliche, it is scary to think about it. The pattern of their behaivior is identical. The consequences are the same as well. The caracters, too. It is soul breaking and I just wonder when society is going to come to the realization that those people need to be named and shamed publicly. I am sick and tiered that VICTIMSATION of the employees is ok and that fighting against it is revolutionary act that almost always ends in the revolucionar being blamed, shamed and destroyed mentaly, emotionally and financially,i nstead of the other way around. Sad, sad and sad !!!!
