  • Credit-taking and blame-shifting
  • Public humiliation framed as feedback
  • Moving goalposts so success is impossible
  • Punishing boundaries or use of PTO
  • Playing favorites while denying politics exist

If you post here, describe behaviors and impact. Prefer role titles over private individuals full names when possible.

Talk about behaviors, patterns, and systems — not just personal attacks. The goal is to help others recognize red flags and feel less alone.

Tips: Prefer role titles over full personal names when possible. Describe what they did and how it affected the team.
