Scapegoating at Work reveals how toxic workplaces protect themselves by gradually isolating and erasing those who disrupt their carefully maintained image. It maps the subtle, systemic process where trust erodes, roles shift, compliance is rewarded, and betrayals feature, showing how competent, conscientious, principled people are positioned as threats to preserve hierarchy and control.
This book does not blame individuals or glorify their suffering. It exposes a recurring pattern that countless people have endured without the language to describe it and makes visible the hidden dynamics workplaces use to survive at your expense.
By tracing how these systems operate, this book gives language to the experience, helping you understand what really happened and why. It offers a way to step back from internalized shame, see the larger design at play, and move forward without carrying the story that was written about you.
