Heaven-sent underground supervisors keep appearing, each invoking the boss’s name. If you disagree, they pick a fight and force you to take sides.

They bring in senior engineers to mentor newcomers, but they spend all day floating around doing nothing and do not even understand the product or know how to read the specifications. All they can say is that the architecture needs to be changed. In the end, they still bring in another outsourcing vendor to do the work. They change a calculation, deploy it directly without testing, and bring the system down. Once it crashes, they pretend nothing happened, then tell subordinates junior to them to clean up the mess. They never have to take responsibility; the company shields them whenever there is a problem.

PMs are not there to coordinate. They ruin all the vendors that had been working with us, then bring in a theoretical outsourcing consultant and pay them to come in and work. In reality, they just come in and sit around. In the end, the two sides only end up hurting each other.

Business development and marketing are out of sync. They deny everything they agreed to afterward, do not even know the product positioning, and can only say that the product cannot be sold. They find some small side channels to pad their performance figures while leaving the core products to languish. They say one thing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and do another on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Middle- and lower-level employees spread internal information everywhere.

Rumors keep chasing one another, and groups are created all over the place.

The company wants systems and procedures, but senior management keeps letting everything through. How can frontline staff enforce any standards?

There is absolutely no sense of unity—come and conquer!
