Poor Leadership and toxic work environment - Supervisor National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Employee Review

Poor Leadership and Decision Making creates chaotic environment where constant change increases stress on employees. Hiring and promotion practices since implementing a new level of bureaucracy known as "Career Services" has wreaked havoc on the career paths and promotion opportunities for employees. this changed the environment from filling jobs with best qualified and promoting based on the responsibilities associated with the job to a writing contest. An easy to maintain corporate resume was replaced with a pre-formatted computer based Integrated Talent Profile that takes a rediculous amount of time to produce. In the end promotions and job vacancies go to those with the best written ITP. Hence, we have a "Writing Contest" based promotion system that has not worked out well.
