Poor leadership + incompetent mangers = lack of direction and operational efficiency contributing to little job security

The good thingsWork/life balance - most of the time people just muddle their way through and there is little in terms of accountability hence many just leave the office and switch off their phone after 5pm

The challengesNobody wants to take the responsibilities for a decision and defers the decision making to others. Every team has their own agenda and none are aligned with company objectives which are at best muddy due to poor leadership. Incompetent mangers make you do things that are not standard industry practices to cover their tracks in case something goes wrong bringing down overall operational efficiency. Stress comes from the fact that nobody actually knows what’s going on.
