- Toxic management style that fostered fear and discouraged open communication.
- Small mistakes magnified without recognition of core work successfully completed.
- Lack of proper training and support for complex assignments, leading to inevitable errors.
- Excessive internal communication demands (20-30 communications per week), creating unnecessary stress.
- Upper management was entirely unaware of ongoing issues, showing a critical lack of oversight.
- No checks and balances—direct manager’s word taken at face value without verifying facts or employee input.
- Expressed concerns about burnout were ignored, and no steps were taken to alleviate workload or stress.
- Termination without prior warnings, disregarding the broader toxic work environment contributing to mistakes.
