    According to UNC's Keenan-Flagler Business School, it is estimated that toxic workplaces cost U.S. employers $23.8 billion annually in the form of absenteeism, health care costs, lost productivity, and more.

    A company's most valuable asset--its people--is rendered incapable to perform at a high level because most are too distracted by people trying to sabotage and manipulate the work environment.

     

    If you work in such a place, most likely you've encountered these eight toxic work behaviors. 

    1. Employees violate company policy.

    These workers have no regard for the business by repeatedly violating written company policy. Things like stealing from the company, sharing proprietary information, engaging in discriminatory practices, bullying, or sexual harassment are par for the course.

    2. Employees are typically unreliable.

    These are employees who consistently miss deadlines, are often coming in late and leaving early, and are mysteriously absent. They can't be relied on to perform good work, and you can't trust them as far as you can throw them.

    3. Employees are poor team players.

    They act stubborn, whiny, or defensive and make it difficult for colleagues to get work done. Some act as if they know it all and can't listen to feedback; others complain to the point where nobody wants to work with them.

    4. Employees badmouth each other.

    Workers actively act out their unhappiness by gossiping after meetings to crucify management and company direction. They're basically corporate teenagers whose time with the company is about to expire, and they're out to put a negative spin on things and spread rumors about others. 

    5. Employees are resistant to change.

     

    Since the world is constantly evolving and requires continuous adaptation, employees who are resistant to change are guaranteed to become obsolete and fail. The bad news is they may take colleagues down with them.

    6. Management operates through bureaucracy.

    There are too many levels of approval and management to get things done and a singular focus on micromanaging employees.

    7. Management can't clearly communicate.

    Employees have no idea what is really going on and no one knows the real truth of the current situation or what the future holds. This causes confusion, fear, and anxiety in the minds of workers.

    8. Management has little or no concern for work-life balance.

    People's personal or family lives must be sacrificed for the job. This is commonly evidenced by 50-hour-plus workweeks, little or no vacation time, and 24/7 availability for work communication.

    SINGAPORE: The founder of City Harvest Church was released from jail on Thursday (Aug 22) after doing time for his role in misusing millions of church funds, a day ahead of his 55th birthday.

    The pastor walked free from Changi Prison in the late morning, looking thinner and sporting a cap on his shorn hair, about two years and four months after surrendering himself at the State Courts to begin his jail term. 

     

    Inmates typically serve two-thirds of their sentences before being released on remission.

    A small group had gathered outside the prison to wait for him minutes before his release.

     

    When asked by CNA if he had anything to say, he shook his head and smiled before swiftly entering a black vehicle waiting for him.

     

     

    Mr Kong was sentenced to three-and-a-half years' jail, the longest term meted out to six church leaders for their involvement in misappropriating S$50 million in church funds.

     

    This sentence had been reduced from eight years’ jail upon appeal, along with the rest of his co-accused who had their terms shortened.

     

    The other five are: Former deputy senior pastor Tan Ye Peng, former finance managers Serina Wee and Sharon Tan, former finance committee member John Lam and former fund manager Chew Eng Han.

     

    The six of them were convicted in 2015 after a trial spanning 140 days and were originally sentenced to between 21 months and eight years' jail, terms that were later reduced significantly upon appeal.

    The case was unprecedented in two ways: First, it was the largest case of misuse of charitable funds in Singapore to date, and second, because the millions were “replaced” through a series of sham investments and shady transactions, with the church ultimately suffering no financial loss.

     

    About S$24 million was used to bankroll the secular music career of Mr Kong’s wife Sun Ho and her lifestyle, while the remaining S$26 million was used to cover up the first amount to fool auditors and to conceal the unauthorised use of the money from the church's building fund.

     

    Mr Kong began serving his sentence on Apr 21, 2017, along with four of his co-accused. In his last message on social media before surrendering at the State Courts, he said he had reflected deeply and was at peace with what was ahead.

     

    He said then that he was “extremely saddened” by the prospect of having to leave his family and church, but was ready to face what was to come “with the peace and grace of God in my heart”.

     

    Ms Sharon Tan was first to complete her seven-month jail term, followed by Mr Lam, who received one-and-a-half years' jail; Ms Wee, who was given two-and-a-half-years' jail; and Mr Tan Ye Peng, who was sentenced to three years and two months in prison.

     

    Chew was the last to begin his prison sentence of three years and four months.

    However, a day before he was set to enter prison, he tried to flee the country on a sampan and was given an additional 13 months' jail. He will be the last of the six involved to finish his sentence.
