We are expected to take responsibility for our work and performance. Deflecting blame to others is not part of our culture. Nobody wants to work in a toxic environment. Nobody wants to hear gossip or be a victim of it. Gossip does nothing positive and reflects poorly on the perpetrator. Our expectation is that all communications will be positive and supportive. Criticism will be constructive and constructive critisim received will be taken on board.
