      Top management and HR fails to act on toxic TL/managers

      Pros

      Work life management is very good in this company.

      Cons

      I spent years at a company with great work-life balance, but things took a dark turn when a new team lead came in. This person seemed to thrive on finding fault, turning minor issues into major problems, and mentally torturing team members. It was incredibly stressful and created a truly toxic environment. Despite multiple complaints to management, nothing was done. This lack of action ultimately led me to leave a job I'd been at for a very long time. It's disheartening to see such a destructive personality remain in a leadership role.
