Why is it, when we are sick, we feel duty bound to “show up” at work still? This “sick guilt” has existed in some form since pre-Covid days when people would drag themselves to the office in order to prove to bosses just how sick they really were. If lucky, they’d be sent home to rest, albeit only after they’d infected half their office. And while the pandemic may have reduced people’s willingness to trudge into the office while sick, the remote and hybrid work movements have compounded this sense of guilt, because people can technically just work from their bed, or couch, while at home. A whopping 89% of people are working while sick because they are experiencing pressure from managers, feelings of guilt and criticism from colleagues, according to BambooHR’s latest study.

Workplaces can become toxic due to a range of factors, but employees believe it comes down to one defining characteristic: how their direct manager behaves. About a third of employees who have experienced workplace toxicity say their managers have acted unethically and treated employees unfairly, like showing favoritism and ignoring feedback, according to a survey from INTOO, a career development and outplacement firm, including over 1,600 respondents. Ultimately, over 70% of those surveyed said they’ve experienced some form of workplace toxicity.

Employment laws and policies differ worldwide, and employers will need to consider local laws and practices. Most, though, are likely to take a dim view of staff who openly view porn in the workplace. And one key difference is that in the U.S. the onus is on the organization to take quick and decisive action or face sticky legal problems.

A behavior that has long existed in marriages and other relationships is garnering greater attention for how it manifests in workplaces. It’s known as “weaponized incompetence.” This refers to when someone pretends to be bad at a task or takes no initiative to get better at it — leaving the responsibility to someone else. In households, this can look like a partner handing off laundry, cooking or dishwashing to the other because they claim they are worse at it or unable to do that task. In workplaces, it often happens when someone fails to learn certain technology platforms and their functions and consistently palms them off on a colleague.

A new potentially passive workplace trend is gaining recognition as the return to office tug of war continues and concerns around layoffs grow. It’s called “quiet cutting” — where employees are reassigned to new roles within their current organizations. They’re told the jobs they had are now cut but they can move to another job as part of an organizational restructuring. It comes as workers are losing the leverage they had with the great resignation in full swing roughly a year ago and with job openings and pay growth now both shrinking. That’s leading some to see the reassignments as a passive yet also hostile attempt to push workers to quit on their own without having to pay them severance. But experts say most of the time companies are truly making genuine attempts to not let more people go.
