> My main issue is the use of "toxic" coupled with the post's advocacy for helping others recognize when they're in a toxic workplace. My concern is that anyone identifying with the general stress described could then accuse their coworkers/managers of manufacturing a toxic work environment.

And they should.

A workplace is not supposed to be baseline stressful - and it's your manager's job to make sure it isn't. If stress is a constant part of your work environment, then your manager (or their manager, etc.) isn't doing their job, and that absolutely does create a toxic work environment.
