How should we encourage non-toxic behaviour at work, without just calling out the bad stuff? I feel like clear expectations, accountability, and modelling respect seem to matter more than policies alone. What actions have you seen actually make teams feel safer and more supportive?

I think it comes from the top down. If management is toxic and allows that behavior then the employees are emboldened to act the same way. The change needs to be in the culture and not celebrating toxic behaviors.

Exactly, so well explained!

I’m sorry you’re in a very toxic work environment. I’ve been there myself two years ago so i understand how frustrated and alone you feel right now. I would suggest you reach out to a therapist to help you get through this mentally and to recover. It’s taken me two years after removal to recover from a toxic workplace. I just saw four posts from you in toxic workplace and wanted to offer some advice. I hope you find this helpful

Thanks, therapy is an option

Passive aggressive behavior works in short term

I’m not sure being passive aggressive is a good way to handle this

This is a good question. We need to focus more on the behavior we want vs the one we dont

Exactly! Lead by example!

C1 is right. It has to start at the top. Companies need to prioritize a healthy work environment and live up to it. I can remember examples of HR departments leading the charge on enhancing the company culture by presenting quick and informative learning modules regarding respect in the workplace as a key element in educating staff and leaders of the expectations.

Completely agreed

Sometimes I think bad staff need to be called out. Positive reinforcement can only go so far in changing the environment. People need real support in order to actually feel supported.

Agreed, support comes from above though

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
