Identifying Toxic Professionals: Ther*****s, Creative Industry Workers, and Casino Dealers

Spotting Problematic Ther*s

Approximately 99% of ther*****s are described as cool, smart, and compassionate individuals who are in the profession for the right reasons. They are dedicated to helping their clients navigate life's challenges and are genuinely interested in their clients' well-being. However, there exists a small percentage, about 1%, of ther*****s who are considered toxic, sanctimonious, and ego-driven. These problematic ther*****s see themselves as holders of exclusive knowledge, which can be incredibly damaging to their clients.

These harmful ther*****s are often profit-driven and can be likened to cult leaders, making them harder to detect and call out due to their legitimate field of work. Signs of a problematic ther***** include a lack of curiosity about the client's experience and thoughts, not working collaboratively, and intolerance of pushback, skepticism, or questions. Such ther*****s do serious damage due to their sanctimonious and ego-driven behavior.

Challenges in the Creative Industry

The creative industries, particularly graphic design, attract some of the most egotistical individuals, according to a graphic designer with 15 years of experience. Unlike alpha bro lawyers, certain individuals in the creative industries grew up as nerds and found a place where they could be at the top. These professionals can be pedantic, workaholic tyrants who live for transient creative projects that are often forgotten.

Despite the demanding nature of the creative industry, it does not offer the high pay associated with more traditional business sectors. The work environment can be challenging due to the presence of ego-driven individuals who are often pedantic and workaholic. This creates a toxic atmosphere that can be difficult for other employees to navigate.

The Dark Side of Casino Dealing

Casino dealers often encounter the worst qualities in people, especially when they are losing money. High-limit games bring out particularly bad behavior in patrons, who can be extremely awful to dealers. Pit bosses and supervisors in casinos are reluctant to throw out high-spending patrons regardless of their behavior, as the casino does not want to lose their business.

The catering to high-spending patrons can result in dealers facing significant mistreatment. Working as a casino dealer has led some to view humanity in a completely different light due to the negative behaviors witnessed. A pro relationship tip from a casino dealer is to bring a date to the casino and observe how they treat the dealer when losing money to gauge their true character. This tip comes from a dealer with about 10 years of experience in the industry.

Understanding the Impact of Toxic Professionals

The ego-driven individuals in the creative industries are often pedantic and workaholic, making the work environment challenging. Similarly, the toxic ther*****s are described as seeing themselves akin to religious leaders, holding the "keys to knowledge." These problematic ther*****s are harder to detect because they operate within a legitimate field, making their harmful actions less visible.

The casino dealer's perspective on humanity has been significantly altered due to the negative behaviors exhibited by patrons, particularly those who lose large sums of money. This insight provides a unique lens through which to view the impact of toxic behavior in various professional fields. By understanding the signs and consequences of such behavior, individuals can better navigate their interactions with professionals in these industries.
