I’m in a toxic workplace and need to leave. Honestly, I should had left sooner but wanted to get my current projects past the permitting and bidding phase. I’ve only been with this firm for 8 months have 16 projects successfully permitted.

How does one explain to the hiring team that I am leaving my current job because of the toxic environment. It’s his way or nothing at all.

Zero appreciation, and it’s always, “I also need you on this” regardless if I explain to them what’s on my plate

Just word it in a way that's professional.

"I feel in my current position that my current workload is overwhelming and doesn't allow me to create projects that meet the high standards I set for myself. I feel like I would fit better in a workspace that allows for realistic and reasonable deadlines, which would enable me to meet said high standards."

or something like that. Do it in a way that praises yourself while not putting the fault on anyone in particular. (which I know can be hard. Just know that you can let it all out in the Glassdoor review)

It's not likely that your feedback will result in any change to the toxic environment. If they are willing to do an exit interview, you can (professionally) share your concerns and why you felt it wasn't a good fit.

Sadly, the work has gotten so commoditized at a lot of firms that they know they can hire someone else if you (or others) are not happy.

And yes, for sure share your experience at that firm on Glassdoor. People need to know.

Good luck!

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.
