Whether conflict is constructive or toxic depends on personality traits, not the topic of the conflict. The person described in the parent post doesn’t seem to have a personality capable of constructive conflict, otherwise they wouldn’t have “pissed off” the large number of people the poster alluded to.

I disagree. You can piss people off without doing anything wrong too. Complaints should be investigated, not taken at face value. This kind of ranking creates cliques and in-groups which can result in brigading. If someone is pissed off at another coworker, first question should be why.

you are right but conflict involves at least two and it needs only one to turn toxic
