The company turned toxic due to current events (at that time) affecting the mentality of certain key people within the company. Add to this the hiring of a new VP that completely changed the dynamics of department interactions. Where we were once a tight-knit group motivated to be the best in the industry (and for a while one can argue that we were), the new environment turned us into lifeless workers; producing and completing our work with little to no interaction with customers or other departments.
