"Toxic Work Environment" is the third episode of ''{{Series/Superstore}}'''s fourth season.

After Jonah and Amy are found by their coworkers to have driven to work together, they lie and say they're carpooling to hide the fact they're secretly dating. In order to avoid suspicion, they start staging fake arguments to throw the others off the scent.

Meanwhile, Kelly is requesting a transfer to a different store, but Glenn hesitates to sign the transfer form because he sees them all as family and doesn't want any of the store employees to leave. In an attempt to get her to stay, he creates the "golden vest award" for her, which provokes jealousy in Mateo, who is frequently employee of the month. This causes him to start fighting with Kelly.

In addition, Carol is trying to steal Jerry back from Sandra, using cheap tactics to do so. This sparks a fight between them, and as a result of all the fighting, Glenn calls for a meeting about their toxic work environment. Eventually, Jonah convinces Glenn that Kelly is the toxic influence, by claiming that all of the infighting was caused by her arrival. This convinces him to sign the transfer slip.

Also, Cheyenne spends the day creating a real, and surprisingly good carpool, only to discover that nobody else is interested.
