Was it toxic? Or did one person feel it was toxic?

From what I can tell, the union pleas are being ignored. That doesn't make a toxic workplace. It's unfortunate, but it's not toxic.

My management ignored my pleas not to litter iframes all over the app and scrape shitloads of client data, but I don't consider that treatment as "toxic". I also didn't get a raise this year and my pleas were met with "everybody didn't get a raise, that's just the way this year went".

So I'm really struggling to see how making pleas to your management = toxicity. What kind of bullshit victimization is that?

So this is in the Twitter thread[0] that sparked this off:

>I’ve personally seen harassing messages sent by PJ to other Organizing Committee members. Heard him denigrate other colleagues. He and I had a meeting, where I begged him simply not to attack the union. He told me he was slacking with Sruthi and that she had “called me a piece of shit and asked him to tell me.” I told him that we weren’t going to disrespect each other. He said “Well let me stop slacking with Sruthi.”

I think that's toxic, don't you?

Honestly, no. A one-off event around a really stressful time (forcing unionization on a small company) is not indicative of a toxic workplace. It's a bad look for management, but I don't think that means the workplace is toxic.

You keep seeming to miss where its clearly stated it isn't about a one-ff event.

"The BA staffers’ stories deserve to be told, but to me it’s damaging to have that reporting and storytelling come from two people who have actively and AGGRESSIVELY worked against multiple efforts to diversify Gimlet’s staff & content"

And Gimlet isn't a small company! They were bought for $230 million.
