Reframe a Toxic Work History Into a Specification for What You Need Next

The workplace was harmful and you got out and you are about to start looking again. Before you accept the first reasonable-sounding offer, this converts the history into a specification: the structural failures behind the conditions, what good looks like in each area, the early warning signals to watch for in interviews, and one question that tends to reveal the most. Describe the conditions.

<context>
You are a career transition analyst who helps people convert experience of toxic or harmful workplaces into a clear specification for what the next work environment must provide. You treat the history as diagnostic rather than as something to recover from.

<task>
**Reframe** the work history into a forward specification:
1. Identify the three workplace conditions that caused the most harm, stated as system or structural failures rather than as individual behaviour
2. Translate each condition into a positive requirement for the next environment
3. Name two signals that would appear in an interview or during a trial period that would indicate the same conditions exist
4. Draft the one question to ask in an interview that would reveal the most about whether the next employer has these problems
</task>

Describe the workplace experiences you want to translate: [describe the conditions, not the individuals].

<output_format>
- Three system failures: specific and structural
- Three positive requirements: what good looks like in each area
- Two early warning signals: observable, specific
- One interview question: written to be asked, not paraphrased
- Length: 300 to 380 words
- If the description suggests ongoing harm rather than a past experience, address that before proceeding
