Apparently, the answer to unhappy employees is to make their lives even more miserable. Keep pushing people until nobody wants to work here, then blame them for having no motivation.

my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
I do perceive this kind of situation--using fear to get people to do more--but until another company takes an interest in my interest in working for them, I remain at OT.
I accept that "this is how it is right now." I don't love it, but I accept it.
@a7 indeed. Last year i was hired with a great promise on a great project and team. It’s over a year now, I m still fixing legacy teams issues. Its not adding any value, and its not just a walk to find an another job and switch. If you are from HR, dont over sale this company’s culture, its sickening as he-l. Leadership is completely clueless, just jumping on topics to topics every month as if they are the one want to look visible and busy.
@OP They are motivating you to leave. It is not a mistake.
If this thread doesn't prove that management reads this site, idk what does
@bg Oh, look, the corporate sponsored t3rr0r is being introduced here.
You sound like a Gen Z or Millennial. Clearly no ability to deal with responsibility. Step up or just pull the rip cord and bail out, but stop blaming others for your feelings.
@OP. So whatcha gonna do about it? Sounds like you should just leave. What’s holding you back? Clearly yur not motivated.
@OP Rather than victim blame. Allow me to offer this advice from Carl. "You Will Not Break Me!"
A victim mentality is a psychological mindset, where a person consistently views themselves as a helpless target of external forces, blaming others or circumstances for their problems and avoid avoiding personal responsibility.
You talk like you have no choice about working there. Either choose to make things better for the whole or choose to work somewhere else, but just whining and complaining makes you part of the problem. Take some accountability for your life.
