A toxic workplace can be defined as any job where the work, the atmosphere, the people, or any combination of those things cause serious disruptions in the rest of your life.
Toxic workers are not low-functioning or low-status employees hiding in cubicles with hoodies on. They are talented and productive people who act out in the worst way and, from a business standpoint, actually affect your bottom line. In fact, the more well-educated, wealthy, and prestigious they are, the more toxic they may be.
From negative communication patterns to low morale, five indicators that your workplace is sapping your energy and mental health.
1. Cliques, Gossip, and Rumors:
Everyone seems to be out for themselves, and there are no genuine friendships among employees. There’s lots of infighting and paranoia as well as gossip and rumours.
This is how toxic workers actively act out their unhappiness. They'll congregate in hush-hush circles around cubicles after meetings to put a negative spin on what just transpired or crucifying management and company direction.
2. Lack of Communication or Negative Communication: You and others don’t get the necessary information to do your job. You work hard with no positive feedback and no recognition, and you might even be told to be glad you have a job at all.
Grumbling and complaining by employees are ubiquitous–staff can find something to complain about almost anytime. Next, sarcasm and cynicism show up, demonstrating an increasing lack of trust of the management and leadership, and turns into low-level seething disgruntlement. Finally, making excuses and blaming others becomes widespread and commonplace; no one seems to be willing to accept responsibility for their decisions or actions.
Eventually, team members either start to withdraw, stop interacting with others, or leave the organization.

3. The human touch is lost
People are considered to be objects or expenses rather than assets, and there is little concern for their happiness or well-being. Their personal or family lives must be sacrificed for the job, as evidenced by 50-hour-plus work weeks, little or no vacation time, and 24/7 availability for work communication. Employees are pressured to compete against one another internally, which is enforced by individual performance measures rather than team performance. There's also little evidence of leaders' compassion and empathy for employees.
4 Managers are dictators, not leaders.
Toxic leaders consistently relate to others in a condescending manner, they take credit for others’ successes, and they manipulate others to ensure that they look good. Trust and teamwork deteriorate in their areas; they have a high turnover rate in their department, and they will eventually destroy the health of the organization.
5. Little to No Enthusiasm:
Expanding on the last point above, dictators-for-managers foster a toxic culture of distrust that makes it unsafe to disclose information or work in close collaboration. Job survival under a dictatorship is day-to-day, due to the unpredictability of the environment you're in.
These are the things that hinder your coworker’s productivity the most
