Kristi, Larry, and guest Doug Franzen, from the EM faculty at University of Washington discuss a recent article from Muse about "toxic positivity."

What is toxic positivity? It's when someone is so inappropriately upbeat in the face of tragedy or bad working conditions that it doesn't allow people to even acknowledge the difficulty of the situation. We've all encountered that co-worker. We talk about how to avoid the pitfalls, how to confront the problem, and the the point where an optimistic outlook becomes pathological.
