One in 10 people consider their workplace toxic, according to September data published in MIT Sloan School of Management’s journal.
In a previous report, published in January, researchers Charles Sull and Donald Sull found that a toxic workplace was the main cause of turnover in their survey sample. This tracks with a Ten Spot study, wherein half of respondents said they “have a manager or a team lead that makes them want to quit their job.” In that same study, 81% of respondents who were managers said they had a boss that made them want to quit their job.
