it's disheartening to witness the toxic culture perpetuated by the leadership team of some departments. The higher-ups gossip, backstab, and hire and have hired leaders with the same destructive behavior, pushing out employees who don't conform to this negativity. Instead of offering constructive feedback or support, they only criticize, making it difficult for anyone genuinely trying to get things done. They humiliate employees through harsh public emails and public call-outs during meetings, rather than providing coaching or constructive feedback in a private, respectful manner. This environment has driven away valuable and hardworking employees. It's a shame because the company has so much potential if only the leadership would focus on fostering a healthy and collaborative culture, instead of finding "gotcha" moments to block, hinder, and backbite fellow colleagues.
