The Hostile Work Environment Series
Hopefully you have read the first two parts of this series and have a good working knowledge of the types of toxic individuals who permeate the workplace for the remaining employees, their victims. By now you are aware of how caustic and contaminating their wrath can become if not handled properly. These individuals are the "toxic waste" of our work environments and must be handled immediately and appropriately if you want positive organizational changes to occur. Needless to say, toxic waste must also be dealt with carefully and methodically. Not just anyone could handle toxic waste. It takes training. It takes risk. It takes courage. And, since you have read the preceding articles on the 'toxic employee' and the 'toxic boss' YOU are about to be considered an expert in the identification of workplace toxic waste. The mere identification of toxic waste is only a portion of your responsibility. Yes, I said 'your responsibility'. Toxic waste spreads. It eats its victims, sabotages the efforts of good hardworking employees and lures others into the advantages of becoming toxic waste. This is YOUR organization.......how do you tell the heart to stop loving? on any given morning I wake up looking for you but you are no longer there, a ghost still living between my sheets. my heart hanging on memories. you always managed to take my breath away. brought to you by A Spot of Poetry
