The toxic work environment is deeply ingrained in the organization’s culture. High-performing, dedicated employees rarely stay long. Since becoming a supervisor roughly 8 years ago, my manager has consistently failed to retain talent. While she is capable of hiring strong candidates, most leave within a few months—driven away by her toxic behavior. Over the past 3 years, I’ve watched the team turnover completely: when I joined, there were 7 team members. She hired 2 more during my time there, and now only 1 remains. At least 9 people have left the team, most for the same reasons I did.
