Hmm, no?

Openness to conflict rises considerably as the level of responsibility augments in a company. This is not toxic. What happens between closed doors is different than what is tolerated in the open.

Plus my culture doesn’t see open conflicts as toxic to beginning with that’s an American thing. I myself think the constant fake American positivity is extremely toxic but that’s my own cultural bias.
