About this podcast
This podcast was created to give employees a voice; the voice that management wouldn't listen to because of deep rooted company politics, misuse of power, or a lack of leadership. This show gives a platform to the employee that was never allowed a last word, or who's words had no value to management. Toxic Workplace is not just a collection of stories; it's a movement towards awareness of how dysfunctional patterns of behavior in the workplace can wreak havoc on your body, mind and spirit. Through candid narratives, listeners will gain invaluable insights into the profound personal growth and newfound perspectives that can emerge from surviving soul-crushing workplace dynamics.
