What is the most toxic thing u encountered at work?

Creating a perception about someone too soon and then never changing it no matter how good the person does.

Simping around women

Hope.

Some if you might disagree on these but I found this to be toxic.

1. In one of my past companies the managers had this thing that if I'm not married then I should be open to work more than 9 hours a day. Only married people get to go home at 6pm. Others have to stay beyond 6pm to show commitment to the company. If you don't, they make it as an excuse during appraisal to lower my hikes.

2. A manager would often give everyone work at 6pm (intentionally) and she will ask for the update the next day during morning standup call.

3. After spending 3 years in the company, I got into an accident which prevented me to walk properly temporarily. My manager was kind enough to request for remote work so I would work from home for 7 months (this was before Covid when remote was considered taboo). I worked as usual from home from my bed in pain everyday. The delivery manager cancelled my promotion & hike that year because he considers remote work as timepass.

Needless to say these were the breaking point that made me quit all these companies.

Bootlickers

• Glorifying employees working from hospital/home when they had COVID as hustlers, using them as benchmarks

• Not listening or dis-agreeing to the advice/suggestion but following it blindly if it comes from a person who comes from a tier-1 college background, person who comes from top startups/MNCs

The manager says that you are getting paid more again and again, when you are making just 10 lpa in a product based company with 3+yoe.

After 1 day of calling in sick, I was told that I had to inform about all the leaves at least one week prior. Repetition of such an action will have consequences next time.
