For instance "People don't communicate, don't smile, don't joke and don't reinforce one another." Here, people not communicating etc might not necessarily be toxic (maybe they're just not talkative folks), but people not being talkative etc might also be a big sign that something bad is going on and that they feel silenced etc. edit: yeah, taking a second look, that's exactly what the article is titled, "signs that...". not a defn | |

It is the cultural environment that SE Management finds itself in that is toxic. That's not to let SE Management off the hook. There are things that they ought to change, both individually and as a group. But there are ways in which the culture has a force of its own that is independent of the "planned culture" that SE may have had a decade or more in the past. | |
