“i know my enterprise critical, high functioning employees are unhappy with their present conditions and my anxiety grows as i realize the increasing likelihood they will leave because the conditions i impose on them are even worse than they might find elsewhere in the community. however, i am unwilling to do anything productive about this except blame them as personally responsible for my unease.” - confessions of the average typically self-deluded middle manager / small business tyrant
anyway, my work involves doing critical analysis of systems. i was specifically sought out and hired by the organization for having “strong critical analysis skills”. let me tell you how much management hates when i apply those skills to the organization.
like how several middle managers’ jobs, despite their JUMBO 4x-6x salaries, consist of sitting through meetings all day, saying the budgets are all in the red/there is no meat on the bone for anything, and additionally they have taken on so many commitments they cannot follow through on any one of them so they have delegated all of their responsibilities to their subordinates and cannot provide any updates on anything.
as though that doesn’t suggest an immediate solution.
