While I'm at it, it was the Business Manager/HR Director's own daughter who was most toxic in the entire office, not too long ago. She whined openly about everyone and everything, muttering complaints and negative statements about co-workers under her breath, she gossiped about others in the office, and basically, she was a very negative and toxic influence within the office altogether. And since she's left, it's been a LOT more peaceful.
And all I can think is, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I think our HR Director is a BIG "B". I cannot wait to leave my company. Just found a new Director level job that's a good fit. We'll see.
