5 SIGNS YOU KNOW YOU’RE IN A TOXIC CULTURE

Understand this, poison looks harmless because you cannot see it and on the outset everything appears normal. It is deceptive, and oftentimes it has affected you by the time you realize it’s toxic. Take these 5 signs the same, as you will not recognize them until already being engrossed in the environment.  Here we go!!!

1 – THE NORMAL BLAME GAME

Mistakes are met always with negative criticism. You will never see anyone taking accountability. You’ll hear these common sayings, “it’s rigged, if y’all would just listen to what I say…so and so is the reason we lose….”

2 – TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION 

Important convos never take place. People are often left in the dark. Things are not explained and athletes are left to discover on their own.

3 – TRUST & RESPECT DON’T EXIST 

Toxic environments breed sneak-dissing, lying, and disrespect. Toxicity will smile in a face and talk dirty behind people’s back. The environment operates under cliques, drama, and favoritism (THIS I WOULD SAY IS A KEY SIGN)

4 – NEGATIVITY REIGNS

Morale is super low, and people will complain more than you can ever imagine. Deadly environments are like leeches and will drain your love what’s good every day!!!

5 – A LOT OF PEOPLE LEAVE

People want out, and they leave. REMEMBER this, cliques will try to make it seem the problem was the person leaving; but that is majority not the case. A lot of people come to discover there in a bad place, and looked for the exit.

Unfortunately, there’s no toughing it out in a toxic environment. Staying only leads to destruction. However, we need to know how to flee these environments.  There is ALWAYS hope!!!

Thank you for taking the time to go through these things together. I’ve personally came out from toxic environments. It’s never easy, but freedom when you do. Next time we’ll discuss the ways of handling if you discover you’re in a toxic place.
