About this listen

AI host Maya Chen examines toxicity combined with institutional power, where survival depends on tolerating abuse. Katherine's story reveals workplace predation—her manager Brandon systematically undermining competent women through exclusion, public criticism, credit theft, and gaslighting, while HR protects him instead of victims. Maya exposes toxic organizational cultures demanding eighty-hour weeks, normalizing breakdowns, and framing abuse as industry standards. The episode reveals the institutional playbook: dismiss complaints as personality conflicts, reframe documentation as obsession, retaliate through performance management, and quietly promote abusers. Maya explains the devastating costs—PTSD, health problems, destroyed careers—and offers realistic guidance: document everything, build alliances carefully, understand risks, and recognize that sometimes leaving is survival, not failure.
