In this episode of their podcast on toxic workplaces, Nicola and Gina review the new Amazon TV show, "The Consultant," and examine the toxic workplace traits portrayed in the series. The show follows the aftermath of a founder's death and the introduction of a consultant, Regus Patoff, who takes over the company and brings in a demanding and authoritative management style.

Nicola and Gina dive into how Patoff's management style contrasts with the previous boss's laid-back approach, creating frustration and discomfort among the employees. They also discuss how Patoff's changes to the workplace rules and product offerings without fully understanding the company's operations could lead to further tension and conflict.

Throughout the episode, Nicola and Gina draw on their own experiences with toxic workplaces to provide insights into the impact of these behaviors on employee morale and productivity. They also offer strategies for addressing toxic workplace environments and creating healthy work cultures.

Tune in to this episode to hear Nicola and Gina's take on "The Consultant" and their expert analysis on toxic workplace behaviours.

Are charter schools the most toxic workplaces EVER? When we first approached Megan to tell her story, we were blown away with the level of toxicity within the teaching profession. It honestly blew our minds and I am positive it will blow yours too!

Charter schools in the United States are primary or secondary education institutions that are public schools which are publicly funded and operate independently, rather than being controlled by local school districts. Charter schools have a contract with local school districts or other authorizing bodies which allow them to operate.

In a new york times article they spoke about how charter schools didn't have experianced teachers and that was highlighted by Megan in the first minutes about the in-experienced teachers she dealt with! https://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/08/us/study-finds-charter-schools-lack-experienced-teachers.html  there were tons of other articles when you google "toxicity in charter schools" like that there are pitfalls in systematic leadership, the administration is a shambles and much more!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/05/20/a-dozen-problems-with-charter-schools/ - This Washington post article rightly so - highlighted some massive issues in charter schools! https://www.shondaland.com/act/a19449580/charter-schools/
