There’s one person everyone tiptoes around because they’re ‘valuable’ or ‘tenured.’ Their behavior drains the entire team, but leadership refuses to address it. Why do companies tolerate one toxic employee at everyone else’s expense?

It really does seem like every organization has that character, the walking talking problem who is somehow necessary to retain. In some cases they actually do have some skill that's needed, but sometimes it seems like they're kept around just because it would be too much hassle to replace them. All anyone can do is try to navigate around them and avoid whatever drama they have cooking.

No one is irreplaceable. I’ve worked with excellent, genius level people who left and there was barely a blip. They only seem irreplaceable until they are replaced.

Usually because everyone in management refuses to take accountability for doing what no one wants the mess of dealing with.

Most likely, a manager and or owner rely on them too much and wouldn't begin to know how to post a job ad or write a jd among other things to replace them, He/She knows this person is abrasive and just looks the other way.

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Advice: my firm incentivized associates to get licensed in fed courts - 4 fed courts for a 5k raise. They also covered the admission fee. I just accepted an offer with another firm and will be putting in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow. Is it wrong to submit an expense report for the charges I incurred related to the fed court admission fees? I didn’t plan on moving to another firm; the new firm sought me out and made me an offer - the process happened so fast. I want to be professional about this.
