Toxic workplace culture is the top reason people quit their jobs. Here are 26 signs you have a bad boss fueling your unhappiness.

Toxic workplace cultures, often driven by bad bosses, are a top reason people quit their jobs. The Wolf of Wall Street/Paramount Pictures Source A top reason people quit their jobs is because of toxic workplace cultures, per MIT.  Bad bosses fuel toxic workplace cultures by gossiping or ignoring your viewpoint.

Never go longer than 5-10 minutes without giving […]
