*** 3 STEPS TO DEAL WITH A BAD MANAGER: https://lindsaylymancoaching.com/badmanager

First things first - I don't love using the word "toxic" when describing work environments. In today's episode, I explain why this label might actually be holding you back and share a more empowering way to think about difficult workplace situations.

After 20+ years in corporate (including my time at Amazon), I've identified two core problems that show up in every challenging work environment. I break these down and share specific red flags to watch for, including a surprising one about leaders who constantly tell you how much people like working with them.

I also share some pointed questions you can ask in interviews to uncover potential issues before joining a new team. Trust me, you'll want to write these down.

Whether you're questioning your current situation or looking for your next role, this episode will help you evaluate work environments more clearly and feel less stuck in the process.

Key Topics:

· Why words matter when describing your work environment

· Red flags to watch for in leadership

· Interview questions that reveal the real workplace culture
