Negative Work Environment: Highly competitive, lack of transparency, favoritism, limited growth opportunities, and excessive pressure. How to Identify Red Flags: Constant criticism without constructive feedback, Lack of recognition for achievements, Unclear expectations or shifting goalposts, Unwillingness to address workplace issues, and Dismissive communication style. What Can We Do? Speak Up: Share concerns with HR or a trusted colleague, document incidents, and advocate for a healthier workplace. Seek Support: Reach out to professional networks, employee assistance programs, or mental health resources if needed. Choose Wisely: When considering new opportunities, research company culture and leadership practices thoroughly.
