Roles where the company matters more than the people to accomplish strategic business goals and initiatives. Where public relations matters and they are politically nice to your face but not behind closed doors.

Roles where to get ahead, you need to be better than someone else so putting people down (gossip, bashing, other stupid games) is normal. Encourages office politics and power is important.

Where being caring and compassionate doesn't get you ahead.

Human Resources. It's almost like all the pretty, cool girls from highschool- the bullies, the mean girls- went into HR.

Not targeting anyone in particular. There are lots of kind people in HR.
