"In my first job out of college, it didn't take me long to realize that I had joined a toxic workplace culture where favoritism won over performance and bullying was overlooked. After becoming close with a few colleagues, I could tell that many were ethically challenged by the situation but kept quiet about it and kept their nose in their work. They also advised that talking to leaders about it would go nowhere. At that point, I began a job search for a company where respect, integrity, and a great culture were rewarded, and I'm happy I found that in my current employer for the past eight years."
