  1. Poor and non-inclusive representation of employees of different races, genders sexual orientation, etc.
  2. Lack of courtesy and consideration between colleagues and a disrespectful manner of communication.
  3. Dishonest behavior and unethical abuses of regulation and policy.
  4. Work environment in which colleagues undermine each other.
  5. Management that talks down, condescends and openly bullies its employees.
