My comment illustrates the situation in a particularly dysfunctional and corrosive organisation. Whilst none of us want to work in a place like this, and none of us enjoy the experience if and when we are forced to do so; we cannot pretend that workplaces like this do not exist. Sadly, dysfunction is probably more prevalent than we would like to admit. Fortunately, we are blessed to live in a world with endless variety; a world in which workplaces with a much healthier and productive culture also exist; places which genuinely foster cooperation and loyalty and encourage and support their employees to contribute and to feel positively about their contribution.
