I’ve noticed that behavior such as that is due to the behavior of their executives. It trickles down. Pre-Covid, I worked for Disney in FP&A in a variety of teams. Some were the embodiment of toxic and it went up through their executives tolerance of it. Other teams were the embodiment of strong collaboration and teamwork as they reported up through a different pipeline. Be the change you want to see in your org.
Never. As soon as you don’t come into the office as much as they do or you don’t say “good morning” the correct way then they start a mutiny against you. Been there. Done that.

THIS!
Most of them, yes. But just like I don’t fully trust every person out side of work, same inside of work. People are people
I for sure do not trust my co-workers . As a financial advisor AND at Citi of all places - I am doing pretty well but I know advisors are waiting for me to leave and try to take my clients . They know I am over qualified relative to themselves / peer group and just hoping I get frustrated enough to leave or upset some mid- level manager and get “ JD’d”
I would never fully trust anyone as an employee of any business. Politics and trust do not go hand in hand. That is just the game. Just play the game as best you can to thrive. Sometimes that means helping others and sometimes that means shitting on them when they are not contributing.
I trust the vast majority of my coworkers, though about 2 years ago someone joined in a central role that has a moderate amount of power, and this person in particular is cutthroat, duplicitous, passive-aggressive (and sometimes just aggressive!). Innumerable times, they've either pushed their own work onto others (often by changing longstanding procedures), failed to do their own job and deflected to others, insisted that they were right when they actually were not (provably so), etc.
It only takes one or two people like this to start changing the culture of a working group, unfortunately.
I understand your frustration. Recently joined PNC and gave my con worker a high five for booking an appointment and said I was weird and told my manager I made him feel uncomfortable. Sometimes you have to just keep to yourself.
For the first 12 months I had people actively seeking to get me fired - luckily I know what I'm talking about but I was shouted at, usually on a weekly basis, by my immediate manager. Had I not invested so much, personally, in being there I would have left. Even when I had evidence in my hand to prove my point, I wasn't allowed to share it. I was (and remain) no threat to any colleague and only want to get on with my job.

Yeah when I threw evidence in their face about everything I got in trouble for it.
I don’t trust my coworkers but for different reasons. In the sense that they don’t have bad intentions, but they are very bad a keeping secrets.

If you trust them, you are 🤡
Nope. I don't trust our middle management at all.
I have trusted and never had issues for the first 8 years of my career in finance but at this new role, I just got backstabbed by someone I called my closest work friend and I'm learning that people have a dark side to them. So now I'm very careful... I don't know why people are inhumane to each other for power and money that don't make anyone happy in the long run anyways. I'm realizing that senior management is very shallow and unwise despite their age...
