Managers not trained to do work of their employees. Personnel policies designed to control and used to threaten. Senior management chooses which policies to follow and not follow. Reprisals with insufficient protection for excepted service employees. Lack of integrity and leadership ability in some senior and middle management. Lack of promotion opportunities. Too many distractions from the mission.

Highly political environment with rampant unprofessional behavior at the highest levels of management. Nepotism and "good ole boy" network is as active as ever. Poor performance and unprofessional behavior simply overlooked or transferred to become someone else's problem. Rumor spreading is at an all-time high with no end in sight as management continues to simply brush it all off and give the typical political speeches and responses to the various happenings.
