Toxic people are everywhere, and most of us know at least one or two. We may live with them, work with them, lead them, or know them socially. And if you've ever spent time with truly toxic people, you already know how destructive and exhausting they can be.

1. Unhealthy Communication Patterns
An initial sign of a dysfunctional, toxic workplace is that there are significant problems in communication, and often across multiple areas—between employees and their supervisors, from management to supervisors, across departments, with suppliers, and even with customers.
