At first I thought it was just me and that I needed some time to adapt to my new job's environment. But no, as time goes on, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that this place is simply toxic. Has it always been like this?

Yes read the board a bit. GF managers and leaders are very well trained. The whole ecosystem they have constructed along with HR is almost set up to be hostile and toxic with a carrot/stick based incentives. But then those too end up being lies. “The cake is a lie”
They for most part were never trained or educated to be managers. Or were managers anywhere else. They are inept and make very bad choices and systems. It appears that try to copy other systems from other companies. But again they don’t know what they are doing so the actually create some weird mutant hybrid cheap knock off. It eventually breaks down in spots and turns into lies and mistruths.
Look it is bad. They are bad. And GF is just a very bad place to work or have a career.
The one biggest thing missing at GF

There are a lot of groups who have no clue what is going on because nothing is shared. It eventually boils down to “we are getting paid to pay out bills, so let’s continue to keep doing it”
Fab 7 was toxic as he-l under that British VP (not that it has improved much since he left). The company is managed by toxic people not much worse than Putxn if these Napoleons have control of a real army. Run before the battleground is set ablaze by the downturn.
Yes…. I too turned a blind eye to it.
I just recently had an “a-ha” snap out of a moment where I realized this isn’t normal or right but I got comfortable about it and just kept going in it.
I will be leaving with in the year.
