Ultimately, many good people left the organization because the stress of dealing with this malcontent became unbearable for them. Some people left angrily and some in a state of relief. Either way, this was not a good situation. For those of us who remained, we rallied together and to a person, we all felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off our collective shoulders. Toxic work environments are the antithesis of a healthy, productive workplace. The situation should have never been allowed to escalate to the point where people were leaving actually running from their positions.
To this day, when I think back, I still do not understand how this situation could have happened, and more so, how it was allowed to persist for so many years. In a strange kind of way, I believe toxic work environments create a condition similar to PTSD and put people in a state of high alert and stress. First off, thank you for reading.

Secondly, the piece you mentioned about PTSD after surviving or barely surviving a toxic environment is absolutely true. Unfortunately, I have survived more than one toxic environment over the course of my career.
Weeding Out Toxic Employees
Each time that I moved on, I found it was hard to re-wire myself or to even let my guards down because of the experiences I have had. I was leery of getting close to anyone. I was leery of leaders in some regard, I still am. I definitely understand what you went through. My hope is that my articles will awaken leaders and change some behaviors. Thank you for sharing your story. Janine, why are bad employees hired?

Meriwether could do no wrong, until July of Was he an untouchable? As a general rule, there is no such thing as an untouchable in business. But I would humbly argue that it is possible for someone to be untouchable in their personal life. Jamie Dimon left Citigroup with his record intact. After the merger, Citicorp and Travelers Group endured turf battles, defections, and troubled times, and while the merged entity remains a mammoth of a financial empire, the reality is that the full promise of the merger is still that — a promise.
Surely this had little to do with Dimon's departure, but he could have surely been a champion of change, an unbiased person who would have resolved conflicts and turf battles, and an operational and financial whiz who took a year off to travel, spend time with his family and enjoy the important things in life.
This lets him win without causing others grief. As you don't want to create perceptions of favoritism or reward bad behavior, keep the incentives small and equivalent to what you give others.
what does it take?
You can do this if you create ways to reward every employee's achievements. Because your free spirit disrupts group meetings, you need to assess whether you really want him present. If you invite him, make the meetings more challenging and interesting, because the moment you allow meeting dullness, you invite free spirit boundary-pushing. Because you already know how he responds to your "ceasefire" requests, if he pokes fun at another staff member in your presence, up the ante with a "we'll take that comment offline after the meeting.
Finally, you've said he's "exactly what" your organization needs. What's "the project doesn't grab him" mean? Few companies can afford the productivity and morale drag of bystanders. Ultimately he and you need to decide -- is he in or is he out?
