Give them a reference that they make their workplace a toxic environment, and fire them.

Maybe focus on the people you like, or who are a positive influence. Respond to them, interact with them.
And/or...
Look at your own negativevent reactions to the toxity:
What am I feeling?
What am I thinking?
How am I behaving?
What does it remind me of?
Understand your own reactions and yourself, so you may grow and develop as a person even from their toxicity.
And/or...
Laugh at the foolishness of the toxicity.
These things may take the power away from this person to cause harm and empower you to be the best you can be.

I've always aimed deal with it during the interview process and screen them out by using an extended interview process that includes exposing them briefly to others in the work force under a couple of 'engineered' realistic situations where the manager / interviewer is absent and a trusted employee will feedback to the appointments team.
Had all sorts of things come out as a result ... previous dishonesty offence that was not on the app form, one who couldn't work nights as they had a curfew on their bail conditions ( also undisclosed on app form) a banned drink driver who told the court he couldn't find his licence so he could keep it and lie about the conviction by showing licence at interviews and several who asked how did the fiddles work for short changing and credit card thefts etc

Don't be a beautician or estate agent for starts. If they're hiding something in my game then it's normally reckless or slow, not too many toxic weasels.

Toxic people are really just Bullies.
The most effective way to stop a Bully is to scare the Bully.
I had one at work who almost got a punch in the face.
Make sure you have a witness when you get ready to drive him or her.
Then never be too friendly with that person.
It worked well for me.

Good Thread,
They seem to be everywhere, in little cliques.
They can be very harmful, telling lies and spreading them.
I would agree with above comment, and also, to just ignore them,
They soon get the message, because they are just bullies!!

Simply secretly write down each and every encounter and be descriptive.
Make sure you put the time and date and do this till you have enough evidence to nail the idiot.
Be Patient and good luck.

You need a dependable witness,or if necessary grab the closest coworker reminding them
of company policy-date,sign,incident report,file with HR Dept. Let them do their job.
Go home after work and relax.Never take bullying as an idle threat,or into your own hands.

It makes it worse... When you train them, teach them, go through the hassle and the thank you comes in return backstabbing you.

Organizational behavior. A complex area. I think of toxic workers as people spreading bad attitude. But other problem behavior can go anywhere.
