"Toxic workplace, what do I do?" quit. F' that noise. It isn't worth the frustration. I did the same thing about a year ago, working for federally funded science. The worst decisions on earth were made, money was wasted AND they complained about budget cuts. It got to the point that someone was like, "you look miserable?" and I was. Toxic is a perfect word, it was literally eating away at me. I quit, had no job lined up, went on vacation while emailing my contacts about jobs, came back with a job. Done and done. Being in a toxic environment does nothing for you with the exception of teaching you how NOT to do things. But, it seems clear the author of this post realizes that, so your lesson is done. Quit. move on, don't look back. Simple as that.
