    Pretty much. I recently left a horrifically toxic job in tech (security side.) Despite being a top performer a middle manager of mine hated that I asked if we could change some processes and beat me down for almost two years before I quit. I was called emotional, overreactive, “to let [manager] have his way and everything would be cool”, and so on. Pretty much considering leaving the field permanently and as you said - just look at these comments :p

      What kind of processes and changes to them did he consider “emotional”, if I might ask?

        None? That’s not what I said lol. I was called those things, not the changes I had asked for.
