Communication is non-existent. The management “team” (for a lack of a better word) talks trash about each other, and behind other employees’ backs. Management is afraid to have tough conversations with employees and address concerns. A lot of people (including myself) would say “this happens everywhere” but this place is the worst I’ve seen. You’ve been warned.
There are a few people in the office that we all know we need to “please” and if you get on their bad side you may as well start looking for a new job as they will find a way to exit you from the organization or make your life miserable until you quit. Unfortunately, the office isn’t big enough to avoid them all together.
Eventually you will run out of work. They expect us to market and write proposals, however, there is no training on the subject. We all just write proposals blindly and hope for a contract. While this practice works sometimes, it is simply not sustainable.
Every person in a leadership position was advanced purely out of attrition or being “next in line”. Through no fault of their own, no leader has been advanced due to any kind of leadership potential or training.
