Toxic is handy by Vested Id 06/25/2016, 4:04am PDT
I never used the word until my last job, which was a sort of shady news outfit where they hired inexperienced people and kept them incompetent so they wouldn't fly the coop. One guy had been there a decade and never achieved the confidence to find work elsewhere. If there's an unspoken, unconscious system of keeping certain "weak" people down in order for the machine to work properly, that's a sickness and toxic is a good word to describe it.
