What is toxic positivity and what are some examples of it?
In: 71
In a work setting, toxic positivity can be making wildly over optimistic plans when you aren’t responsible for implementing them. The famous dynamic here is salespeople promising anything the customer asks for without reference to what the engineering team can actually produce.
I have a semi official job duty of being (non toxically) negative about things because without my input my office tends to overpromise and underbudget. They need someone to consider less than best case scenarios.
