I generally agree that “toxic” is over used, but here it seems warranted. How else would you describe an attempt to co-opt the emotional processes of family building in order to make workers more loyal to you, especially when that loyalty is transparently asymmetrical? Perhaps I’d be inclined to specifically call it manipulative and deceitful, but “toxic” is much more succinct and not incorrect.
