If you have been exposed to the same culture through school, higher education and then finally the workplace, it is not suprising some people find it acceptable or even normal...

I was exposed to that kind of culture in school/uni, and while I got used to it at the time, I much prefer the slightly more civil relationships I now have with colleagues. getting rid of the toxicity is one of the greatest advantages of professional work life compared to my days studying imho.

I mean the pay is nice too, but it was less important to me before I got used to it. Now it would be hard to give up though ;P
