The topic about toxic work places in Kenya is one that needs to be amplified every now and then for the sake of many people's mental state.
Many are afraid of opening up about it for fear of being bullied or even losing their source of bread for speaking up.
We asked Kenyans to share their stories on toxic work places and the feedback was shocking. Many people opened up about nearly falling into depression, a sad state of affair that forced them to quit.
Check out some of the feedback that we received.
