A toxic work environment greatly affects our mental state. Often, a satisfactory salary is not enough to choose a job, when you know that in the office you are surrounded by abusive colleagues or companies without a certain work ethic. All of these leave marks on us that are reflected in physical and mental health such as increased stress, lack of sleep or hunger, etc., etc. How to understand that an environment is such without applying yet?
You can find the 5 main signals below.
1.
People who work there speak ill of colleagues and can reveal in a matter of minutes even the most confidential things that happen within the company. Listen carefully to what is being said about the environment and how people are treated there.
2.
The company in question has negative comments where among other things a bad work culture is mentioned.
3.
There is a video or other test on the net that shows that leaders misbehave with employees.
4.
The first thing the organizational structure mentions is the fact that you can fail. What can you expect from a work environment that discourages you before it even starts well?
5.
Take a good look at if the company has had legal issues. That shows a lot.
