I suppose, like everything, it depends on what you mean. Like I was on a date a few months ago and the lady said she was a small-business owner with 4 employees. My immediate question was what I felt I'd been dealing with at work: "How do you deal with, like, bad vibes and drama and stuff?"
It was only after she kind of grimaced that I realized, y'know, "That's probably her least favorite part of the job." I didn't mean any disrespect--I'm just perennially socially awkward. I don't think I need to be actively punished for that.
A lot of habitual toe steppers have had the luxury of the people whose toes they step on in their regular circle lying to themselves about the benefits of keeping them around. The scales have fallen from a lot people’s eyes about exactly who these people are and what they’re about.
