Some process should have figured out that that guy was poison.

But putting that function in the interviewing process seems awkward...




There is no such thing as a 'toxic person'. There are people who do not fit in a team, there are people who don't fit a companies goals, there are people you can't stand.

The most difficult lesson I've learned is even the worst person in the world has their uses and I only hurt myself by not admitting that.

If I can't stand a team I move on as quickly and professionally as possible because life is too short to fight pointless battles.
