Group texts in a smaller company are not necessarily a red flag, but can be a reflection of dysfunctional team dynamics.The red flag is not the group chat itself, but rather the ways it is used to trample people's boundaries or enforce unhealthy norms.Healthy and functional teams can also have group chats for specific use cases, like blowing off steam or for a younger team.Overall, the presence of a group chat does not determine the toxicity of a team; it is the underlying dynamics of the team itself that matter.
