Manipulation and lots, lots of lies. Unfortunately, it was the most toxic workplace I have ever seen. Cutthroat behavior, abusive and unethical management who seemed to care only about the profit margin.
There were no boundaries; it was consistently demanded that people do work outside of their job scope and work late or on weekends with no pay or even a kind word.
Life is too short to be in such an environment. I tried to fix it multiple times, honestly, but the reply was "if you don't like the way we operate, go seek somewhere else". Well, which I did.
