Is it a red flag when everyone warns you about one person, but leadership keeps promoting them?
I’ve worked in places where this was treated as “just the culture,” and it took a toll on morale fast. Have you seen this play out, and what did it teach you about power dynamics?

It could be that everyone is jealous about that person

I can see this

Power dynamics is overrated. Results are underrated and actually that matter

I understand

Power dynamics can be both sides. I've seen bad employees band together against a person as well as there being toxic leadership promote a person on an unethical basis and or keep a person in management on even though they aren't a good fit. I guess the lesson here is that when it comes to management it's most likely- who you know and or how well the person being promoted is actually a value in the role.

This is true.

Absolutely - for some reason that person always get promoted as they tend to be a person that just spoke up more too!

Yes speaking up sometimes gets you far

My boss hired a toxic supervisor and together they were total dysfunction. They used to access personnel and patient records to spy on people.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
