The term 'toxic team' has become increasingly prevalent in both Brazilian and American corporate discourse since the 2010s, particularly with the rise of discussions about mental health in the workplace. In Brazil, it's often discussed in tech startups and multinational corporations. In the USA, it's a common HR and management term used to justify restructuring and team changes. The concept has also expanded to gaming and sports communities, where toxicity is actively combated through reporting systems and community guidelines.
