Yes, when I started my career on Capitol Hill. The office was mostly female and (I am as well) and just completely, utterly toxic. I left and never looked back, and moved into a totally different career where it’s mostly supportive, friendly colleagues. I feel so blessed to be out of that place, for so long I felt like all workplaces are that awful. They’re not.

I worked at a trade association that was aligned with a specific healthcare field. It was ridiculous, the lobbyists were respected for their "connections" based but were ineffective at actually accomplishing anything other than scheduling meetings where "voices could be heard" but no action taken. The people who worked in the industry were respected for their knowledge, but the others? Nope. Finance. Accounting. The economists. The attorneys? None of their ideas or opinions matters.

Come to think of it, the biggest person in the org beyond the president/ceo was the person in charge of the annual conference.

It was highly ineffective, beyond getting people pictures with politicians. But it's still drumming along.

The one I am in now. I don’t care what they think. I don’t interact with them. I am in sales and bring in too much for them to let me go. Nice part is I am on my “own island” with little communication.

It's the modern workplace, OP. It's very unfortunate.

Some people are skilled at playing games. They take escape rooms and other games very seriously.
