I stumbled onto this article. It's titled, “toxic phrases highly insecure people use.” Then proceeds to list phrases used almost exclusively to address concerns in a toxic work environment. The article paints the clearly distressed individual that would use said phrases as lazy. It then advises that coworkers refuse to comfort or offer support to their distressed colleague. Instead, you should “interrogate them,” “refuse to accept excuses,” “poke holes in their postion,” and repeatedly pressure them saying that “excuses and claims, and claims need to be proven.” It's isolation and gaslighting 101.
