Can't be toxic culture if everyone wants to work there, and if 95% of people threatened to fire themselves to follow him.

It's toxic be a board member and to write a research paper spilling trade secrets of the company that you work for. Maybe that's why the CEO doesn't talk to you about product launches anymore.

It very well can be toxic. I remember there was a hedge fund with extremely toxic work environment to the point that some bosses were forcing the employees to take female hormones for certain reason (I can’t recollect 5the exact reason). But still people wanted to work there. Money.

> 95% of people threatened to fire themselves to follow him.

That sounds extremely toxic on its own.

Think about it for a second, someone went around asking people to sign their name on a document threatening to quit if he was fired for cause. Would you be comfortable if this was happening at your job?
