More time is spent on templates, processes, etc that there’s no application of people’s actual talent or experience brought to the role, no discernment required, especially now with AI, the focus is not on the work and collaboration, just paint by numbers and fill in the blanks, and the solutions reflect that. People with tenure get away with doing the bare minimum while others are drowning in their workload. There’s a lot of spin merchants, seat warmers and favouritism, differing standards and silent workloads with zero resourcing oversight. Managers define expectations in a way that ensures they can blame their reports for everything and solve zero issues themselves. Middle management does a whole lot of nothing, just directs traffic. There’s a lot of sexism as well, the expectations on women versus men are staggering. Veryyyy insular for a global company, blatant bullying and harassment going on all the time, people managed out, zero understanding of neurodivergence or differing communication styles. Helps if you’re British and male, in that case highly recommended.
