I read with interest an article by Kristine Cannon, “Are You a Toxic Coworker?” on my Living/Careers news feed. She wrote that toxic workers wreak havoc in the office and make the work environment stressful and uncomfortable. Quoting Benedicta Banga, career strategist and founder of Leader Initiative, Ms. Cannon said that toxic coworkers are: “self-absorbed, confrontational, rude, controlling, gossipy, and unforgiving.” As usual with lists, she missed a few red flags. As a community serve, I provide more clues that you or a coworker might be toxic.
A toxic person will: unfriends all coworkers and family on Facebook, carry a concealed weapon to work, refuse to reveal their first name, document all conversations, hang a Nazi flag in their office, clean their AR-15 in the break room during lunch and wear body armor to work.
Usually, the voices in the toxic worker’s head aren’t on speaking terms with the voices in your head.
Be aware of these red flags that a coworker is a toxic person and be prepared.
