Avoid as much as you can when it comes to it. It always seems like there will be a certain set of people that are the worst of it. When they do try to rope you in, have a polite, but firm answer that you won’t be getting into it. Will more than likely save a lot of hassle in the future!

Stay focused on your work, avoid gossip, and build positive relationships with all team members where possible

Observe first. especially if you're new. Figure out what is what before you get on anyone's side or in any drama.

Don’t gossip , stay away from gossipers , don’t overshare

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
