Toxic Environment
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I’ll keep it brief and focus solely on the Information Security department. The department is struggling under a toxic manager whose behavior is being tolerated by the company. There’s a misguided belief that personality flaws and poor leadership can be addressed by simply reading books or listening to podcasts. This reliance on superficial remedies only highlights deeper issues in communication and management.
Buzzwords like “agile work” and “flat hierarchies” are used to promote a progressive modern image, but they don’t reflect the actual work environment. For instance, daily stand-ups are reduced to one-way status reports to the manager, rather than fostering genuine collaboration across teams.
What’s most troubling is that the manager, despite lacking basic communication and social skills himself, routinely blames his employees for any shortcomings. This kind of behavior has been one of the most frustrating aspects of the department.

Only promote individuals into leadership positions if they demonstrate actual leadership abilities and not just strong technical skills.
