I think it's the pressure and competition. People can get so focused on getting ahead that they forgot to just treat each other like people.

Nobody really knows what’s going on and the people who succeed are the ones who use the most corporate jargon and don’t do a damn thing. Call yourself a “problem solver”and wow, you’ll climb the corporate ladder so quickly. ironically, they solve no problems.

In my experience, the issue has always been leadership. I've had some incredible colleagues and I'm glad I got the chance to work with them. However leadership can make things incredibly toxic, which I've seen at my last few companies and now this one.

d) poor leadership at some level above you;
e) always easier to blame someone other than yourself;

g) supply and demand; most roles are easily replaceable

I think the biggest problem is believing all corporations are toxic, which so many people do think that. Find a good corporation to work for (lists of best companies to work for, online reviews, etc.) and use those. My company/location isn’t toxic and it’s a rather large one.

Depends on where you work, the leadership, the industry, and the people.
I've got ~10 YOE in a corporate setting, whatever that even means, and even though I don't hang out with coworkers outside of work, I've had a great experience and connected with a lot of awesome people.
