You have an implicit assumption that people in toxic organizations are split into two binary categories of perpetrators and victims. In my experience, in toxic orgs everybody thinks of themselves as victims, and everybody perpetuates toxic behaviors to some extent.
Also, your comment is talking about value judgements (talk about blame), whereas the quoted text doesn't have them — it is not saying who's the bad guy, it's just saying what will happen, statistically speaking.
- watwut 4y agoI have explicitly seen twice now a manager to come in and make everything toxic purely by herself being toxic. And I have seen a leader to create non-toxic environment. The fact is, managers sets the tone. And when the culture is toxic, the rot comes from the head. Individuals on lower levels can be toxic too, but that spills on others only when management fails. That thing "the effect was most pronounced in case of a new managers". That is a manager coming in, creating toxic environment and people who are under his/her power adjusting to the situation or leaving.

- seizethecheese 4y agoIn fact, this behavior of splitting everyone into perpetrators and victims is a toxic behavior.
