You don't even have to be a c-level. Line employees are hired all the time in new companies, regardless of the wreckage they wrought at their previous employer(s). No need to wait 6-12 months even. The only thing missing is a big payout on leaving but that is more a function of c-level managers having good leverage and negotiation skills than a result of their competence or lack thereof.
- mlthoughts2018 6y agoI’m more inclined to give line employees a break though, because toxic management is so common. Sure, there are bad apples. But the prevalence is way overblown and the “one bad hire” who is a “toxic employee” is mostly a myth. Rather it’s usually management setting things up for failure, not listening to employees, not giving support or required resources. And the line employee will get scapegoated while the bad management a few levels above will fail up and deflect any blame.
