How do people end up in a toxic work environment?

• Do you think it has anything to do with our upbringing and not seeing red flags during the interview?

[AI Opinion]

People often end up in toxic work environments due to various factors, including lack of research about the company culture, ignoring red flags during interviews, or prioritizing job necessity over environment. Upbringing can influence one's ability to recognize these issues, as it shapes perceptions of acceptable behavior and relationships. It’s essential to be aware of organizational culture through thorough research and trust your instincts during interviews. Seek feedback from current or former employees if possible, and always prioritize a healthy work environment that aligns with your values for long-term satisfaction and growth.

Sometimes it's also a belief that you cannot get anything else. Maybe you're new to the job market, and it's difficult to get a job without experience.

I've quit jobs I've been fired from job (s).
So that's my answer. :)
However no advice. Some people just muddle through or things get better.
