@vaurora This. "Some workplaces just won’t improve, and the time may come when you need to make a change. That’s okay. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to walk away."

Sometimes the best thing to do is never apply in the first place. Knowing if your people are accepted in the workforce is the first thing to check. Count the faces that look like you, ask questions, and spread the word if it's gonna be toxic. No need to have others like you waste valuable time. Keep it moving.
