We examine how seemingly minor slights in the morning ripple through your day. By understanding the mechanisms behind this behaviour, you can better manage your responses and identify why a colleague might be reacting to previous messages rather than current tasks. This analysis helps you navigate the complexities of office life without falling into reactive patterns. This is essential for anyone interested in organisational psychology and the subtle ways toxic behaviour spreads across a team. We look at the evidence to help you assess your own contribution to workplace dynamics, offering a clearer view of how to de-escalate tension before it affects your performance.
