I'm fed up of management through fear. You can scare people into doing two or three jobs for the price of one for a while, but not forever. Eventually we just stop giving a damn and go back to doing just our original job. I 'm at the point where I don't give a damn if they fire me or not. I'm just done.

What is with the extreme amounts of work all the time without the staff to back it up? And we’re expected to just deal with it month after month? Why are we blamed for not doing enough when the numbers clearly show unsustainable work levels? This is happening in my group and another related group. Customers anre complaining. This is not a good look. Also what is with so many higher ups and people in management leaving in such a short span of time? These issues need fixing.
The bathrooms are so bad. Especially in one of two buildings at my site.
My biggest fear is when I’m in office and need to take a dump and all the stalls are taken or the open one has s#it smears on the seat.
Fear will keep the outer systems inline. Fear of this battlestation.
Hey. I was working on something. But I didn't get enough time to finish.
Be careful.
It sounds like you work in wealth management-within the past year of the senior management rotation as they attempt to juice the numbers the increased burden has fallen on the backs of the people actually doing the work. I think you feel the same as many as their investment into the company has waned with the increased workload and higher KPI metrics. Unfortunately, senior leadership fails to see if they push too hard on the workers, moral declines to a point in which it causes a cancer of rot within. One also would have to blame some of the issue on newer younger associates who understandably want to prove themselves and position themselves for advancement where they will work at an UNSTAINABLE pace shooting themselves and everyone else in the foot by giving senior management the thought that this would be a normal pace for the workers which is why raised metrics remain in place. This strategy works for management providing they are willing to accept higher turnover ratio costs- turn and burn thru associates. Like a race car burning thru tires. They start out at fresh, run hard and fast then burn out quickly.
When employees are stating they do not care whether they are fired or not and are done, it's a clear sign management has exceeded the limits and either needs to hire more associates to spread out the workloads or possibly needs to split the role of the duties into two separate units. I can tell you, I've spoken with many associates and this posting is not a one off.
@a2 Cascading Style Sheets?
It gets annoying after a while
You just let them try their tactics and then roll your eyes internally.
Kinda over it. Try a new trick
Everyone in the FI Client Experience Group that just merged into Fid Wealth feels the SAME EXACT way. The last thing they care about is our health.
@OP you must be a victim of CSS?
