I hear the word "toxic" thrown around a lot in reference to the workplace, but I'm curious to know what you personally consider to be a toxic work culture and if you've experienced it firsthand.

I think it's all about the kind of behaviors that are allowed to happen in the workplace and deemed as normal. Ignoring concerns raised by employees could be considered toxic. Pressuring people to work beyond what is healthy could be as well. Also people themselves could be the toxic ones, and they turn the environment toxic when allowed to continue their behavior without reprimand.

Any workplace that ignores your boundaries, that includes coworkers and management. I found this the most in close knit offices.

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
