I'm curious, did you notice this toxic behavior in other areas too, or just IT? To me it seems like IT has a higher percentage of assholes.

- Xelbair 8y agoI know few fields in which it is way way worse. Construction work(both field and engineering/project side), surveying and few others.
- muzani 8y agoIt's actually far less in IT. A close relative worked in construction. You think tech has bad harassment issues? Construction had open prostitution at work, rape jokes targeted towards the female engineers, and some people would urinate openly. Anything with undereducated people are also quite toxic. Both the managers and colleagues often have very low willpower and get emotional over small issues, starting fights for small things, like not getting them a drink, or touching their car. In tech, people are not so replaceable, so most companies have plenty of financial incentive to treat each other respectfully. Startups can be a little worse than usual, because the people are younger and there's more of a "college" climate.
