So why isn't it?
If you share your ideas, be prepared to be shot down.
If you are at all critical, be prepared to lose your annual payrise.
If you have time off on xmas, be prepared to work it.
Your colleagues and managers compete on brownie points where you throw others under a bus over taking real accountability.
None of your own peers talk, it is a culture in silence, where you all hope the torch is never passed to you, as it will be met with criticism.
Death by powerpoint.
Death by MS teams daily updates... by many people
Death by huddles.
Death by spotchecks (Me and my managers...)
I understand the need for some huddles, but they are run like smaller all hands, not huddles...
Such a huge focus on numbers NOW NOW NOW - no one cares about the risk and integrity to the business' future as we can blame it on someone else... probably...
Quality is spouted from the top - but as soon as hit hits the heads of the people underneath, they ignore and just want to break all pilots to improve stakeholder relationships for pure sales and numbers.
Your work doesn't feel worthwhile and you just take it all day-by-day and hope you did nothing wrong, but you probably did.
it went from managing your team's morale to kicking them all down to get them to quit with constant spotchecks, feedback on spotchecks. I am now more of a project manager and admin co-ordinator than I am a leader. This is such a shame, as no one has time for passion.
