Something that alarms me is when teams operate on the assumption that everything is urgent. The inability to prioritize the work just creates a lot of problems. I've been it be a symptom of bad management, a scenario in which workers are bullied to always be in a hurry. The result is that everything gets disjointed and simple tasks become complicated.

The biggest red flag for me is people gossiping and prioritizing their interpersonal feelings over the work. I have no time for petty, meaningless drama and I have no problem saying so.

Yeah very true
It certainly breeds toxicity

Gossiping and working outside 8-6

Woman here, question to men golfers:

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
