Company culture once formed is very difficult to dispense with. Certain signs have been identified by a management consulting publication which indicate the same being toxic. In such organizations, work is only done the way the boss feels it must be. Employees’ motivation rather than performing is to avoid getting scolded. Such organizations lack ideas and business innovation is non-existent. Employees at such places have way too many secrets within their cliques. Staff turnover is high as new recruits do not settle in very well. Also in such firms, employees are overworked and stretched to the limit of their capacities.
