A common background I have seen in all toxic coworkers.

So I have been reflecting on coworkers I have had in all workplaces, bosses as well, that were toxic and seemed to be the ones more into drama than the actual job. This is also true for those who were power hungry and trying put their nose into the business of others than doing the job. In almost all of them, I have noticed one thing to be common in their background.

They were either spoiled or came from a spoiled background.

Almost all of them went to a private school, were homeschooled by wealthy parents, or grew up in very wealthy areas.

Now I cannot say that everyone who went to a private school is toxic but rather that the toxic people at work I did run into seem to all have had the stereotypically spoiled upbringing.

Private school, Greek Life in college, private university that their parents paid for, etc.

It seems like almost all of them care little about the actual job of sales or learning new things. They care more about trying to have power over people or stirring the pot to where the whole office is gossiping about something rather than actually doing the job.
