You'll find people that, even if they don't small talk you, they will bad
|
||
|
mouth everything else -- even some other people -- openly.

Toxic people love drama. They love to put people down. They love to point
|
||
|
mistakes made by others -- but never by themselves. Some of them actually do
|
||
|
that to make themselves look better in the eyes of the upper management.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Not totally toxic, but I did work with people who would never answer an email
|
||
|
unless the manager was in the discussion. Another person would always claims
|
||
|
his team did everything they could, even putting himself at the disposal of
|
||
|
the manager to solve any issues, and that the problem was not related to their
|
||
|
work -- which we proved three times it was.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You need to stay away from those people. They will harm in ways you can figure
|
||
|
out immediately. Their attitude towards other (and maybe even yourself) will
|
||
|
drive you so down you'll waste more time wondering what you did wrong than
|
||
|
doing your job.
