Kontras
TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT At its lowest point, I've seen/experienced alcohol on the breath of coworkers after an "extended" lunches, gang signs from the Union members, fighting at company Christmas parties, and suspicious white stuff under nostrils, accompanied by lock jaw and teeth grinding. You need thick skin to survive. Cross-departmental projects are dreadful due to a lack of urgency and poor communication between parties. Requests are only fulfilled after you remind/nag coworkers on updates because their workload is too high, their priorities are elsewhere, and you are just another annoying distraction. The funny part is that you are in the same situation; drowning in work yet at a standstill due to frequent cross-departmental traffic jams.
