I‘m a graduate accountant in Sydney and have been at my current place of employment for almost a year now.

Every time I speak to my friends about my current workplace they tell me that it’s toxic and that I should leave. However, both I and my friends have very little corporate experience so we have no idea what is considered normal and not normal.

Can some more experienced people help me out and figure out if I should consider leaving?

These are some of the things I’ve experienced,

• Managers and long term employees openly gossiping and criticising previous employees
• Being trained by the newest employee and then getting blamed for making mistakes (even though that new employee and I were not trained properly)
• Indirect insults from manager
• Being viewed as rude and disrespectful for being reserved and introverted (everyone is over a decade older than me and that’s a big jump to get used to straight out of uni)
• High turnover (half the time the new employees are given contracts rather than permanent positions though due to visa situitions)
