Management completely out of their depth

Operation technician

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The other technicians actually knew what they were doing, which made the work itself manageable.

Cons

- The real issue is the person in charge, who was promoted without any real management experience and it shows in every decision. - It is clear the selection had little to do with capability and more to do with appearances or personal preference rather than actual skill. -There is no understanding of the work, no understanding of the team, and no understanding of how to manage people. - Instructions come from above that are confusing, contradictory, and completely lacking any real direction or planning. - The result is constant confusion presented as structure, while employees are left to deal with the consequences. - Watching someone struggle in a role they are not qualified for while everyone else absorbs the fallout becomes exhausting very quickly.
