      Toxic work environment. I started a year ago, and there are more than 20+ people quit since i started. And many of them left no 2 weeks notices. It is toxic work environment. I have been guilt trip because i needed to take a sick day for my daughter’s surgery. And got in trouble for going to doctor appointments and reported to HR, nothing has changed. Abusive manager and many people reported to HR and HR still did... nothing to solve the issue.
