After a user pointed towards women managers specifically, another user mentioned, "There are gender-specific shitty managers some shitty things they do in common but some things they do only specific to genders. Overall men have a more shitty variety of things but if these shitty things are there, they are there. No point gaslighting and covering it up by gender neutrality."

Another user said, "Unrealistic agreements over the project timelines. During the bidding stage, the only objective is winning the project, so they purposefully ignore the efforts necessary for the project implementation. Once the timeline is agreed upon, it is up to the implementation team to go to all the extents and complete the engagement within the minimal timeframe."

Another user pointed out how HR's make a workplace toxic.?"HR at my workplace is vindictive, petty and power-drunk panchayat gang. Sadly the management is least interested in employee mental well being fuelling toxicity to astronomical levels. Pray for me. I cannot get out because I have no other options," a user highlighted,?
