- professional use

- A rare few motivational coaches use it in the context of transformation ('like a snake shedding its skin, I left my toxic job ๐').
- appropriateness
- Generally inappropriate for professional use due to its strong connotation of betrayal and workplace toxicity accusations.
- comment use
- Technically used in comments about workplace backstabbers, though usually in a euphemistic or coded way.
