Chioma, a rising star in the world of marketing, faced an all too familiar challenge in the workplace - a toxic culture dominated by the Head of Operations, the cousin of the MD.

Despite her best efforts to bring attention to the mistreatment, the MD consistently took the side of her cousin, leaving Chioma feeling unheard and unsupported. Hence the Cousin rules and does as she likes irrespective of how you feel.

Though Chioma refused to be broken, she had to resign due to a terrible gang-up and an extremely toxic culture. Despite resigning with no new job in sight and enduring a hellish notice period filled with lies spread against her, Chioma stood strong and did what was right for her mental and emotional well-being.

Prior to her resignation, there was a huge project managed by Chioma, she sought guidance from her colleagues and the MD's cousin but they all have negative feedback and never assisted; the cliche was "leave make e spoil for her hand". However, Chioma managed to get her mentor's (external) advice on how to carry out the project and the project turned out a huge success, guess who got accolades for the project, the MD's cousin, and her colleagues (who refused to assist).

During her notice period, the MD hired a new Marketing Manager and they fed him with all sorts of lies against Chioma (But he was sensible at least to watch and see she was an entirely different person from the narrative).

Now their toxicity caught off with the New Marketing Manager, they frustrated his efforts, he finally reached out to Chioma for advice, she did the best she could but never said anything negative to him. Just four months down the line he was fired without notice or Payment in lieu. He sadly informed Choima of his ordeal "in the hands of these terrible people".

Recently, they got another Marketing Manager and he reached out to Chioma on LinkedIn to "know what the culture is and what tips Chioma could offer to him to succeed in the role"..... and posted it on Niaraland

Chioma feels this organization is in her past and does not want to have anything to do with anyone or advice, The new employee has sent Chioma a message three times to seek advice, and all Chioma said was just do your best.

Should Chioma truly open up to this person or allow the new staff finds out things for herself?
