Fifth Sign of a Toxic Workplace:
Obvious Hypocrisy in the Firm

Here are a few questions to ask yourself about the level of hypocrisy in your workplace:

Is there inconsistency between the publicized values of your company and the reality of day-to-day events?

When employees see the framed motivational posters on the walls of the break room, do they roll their eyes and make jokes?

Is there a lack of integrity in the speeches of company executives?

Is a bully preaching company values, even as he violates them?

Is a bully rewarded for contributing to the bottom line instead of punished for violating company values?

Are reprimands for breaking company values ineffective and meaningless?

If so, then your company is suffering from widespread hypocrisy.
