Lack of project management or oversight, leading to overload during peak times
Unreasonable deadlines, often due to poor planning
Lack of record-keeping and documentation leads to the loss of institutional knowledge
Some individuals gain excessive recognition, while the efforts of others are overlooked or not acknowledged
Overtime is expected, with little to no effort made to refine processes to mitigate or avoid it
Culture of finger-pointing and blame instead of problem solving
Surprising amount of inter-office politics, both interpersonally and between departments
Many departments are overstretched, and management has been slow to provide relief (if any has been provided at all)
Uneven work distribution - some workers are relied on too heavily, and work is not delegated to less burdened employees to relieve them
Interactions between departments are often confrontational instead of collaborative
Unclear role delineation, with a culture that discourages pushback and expects acquiescence and compliance
Management has promised change on several fronts, but has yet to make visible changes that affect lower-tiered employees
Feeling of dissatisfaction, stress, and disappointment among staff members across departments and roles
Organization is top-heavy, with little authority or input given to team leaders or department heads
