I read this as your company culture is really bad if no one can complain about the negative person everybody hates - there's almost always someone who either is too honest or too talkative who lets on what's up - if you dont have those characters the company might have punished them already as well.

There's always an in-group/out-group in any group and if you're not aware who the current "least favored" person is in a social circle, its probably you.

I'm certainly not claiming we had a great culture, but I don't think it was that bad.

If I'm not hearing gossip on who the "out" person is, it's me? If this is good culture I'll take bad any day.
