The mean girls didn’t disappear after high school…

They got promoted.

And it’s TIME to talk about them and corporate bullying.

Not the obvious kind.
But the insidious kind.

Where old skool employees feel threatened by new up and coming talent and retaliate with passive aggressive emails, straight defiance in meetings or whispered politics.

I’ve seen rising stars completely diminished by the bruises of “fitting in.”

All because some veteran employees think tenure earns them a license to gatekeep, sabotage, and haze.

This isn’t leadership. It’s insecurity in a power suit.

And it’s wildly demoralizing to be “welcomed” to a company by being undermined at every turn.

The impact?

Long-lasting.
Confidence-crushing.
At times career-altering.

To execs reading this post…

Ever wonder what the real culture killer is?

It’s letting toxic employees stay unchecked while incredibly talent quietly walks out the door.

“Autism didn’t exist until recently.”

Repeat after me….

*The numbers are NOT exploding. The AWARENESS is*

We didn’t “create” more autistic people.

We just stopped ignoring them.
