working contract is violating german labour law (for example overtime regulation)
- Training / introduction is not existing or cut to 1 - 2 days. Later supervisors complain about mistakes and the missing knowledge. Supervisors expecting that you do trainings in unpaid overtime.
- no back up plan / sucessor management. As soon someone is leaving all knowledge is lost
- No documentation of processes. If a documentation is existing, it is normally outdated.
- Different departments have overlapping responsibilities and handle the same process in different ways
- KPIs are either not existing or do not make any sense
- Communication is not existing or is poorly managed via one of the hundreds of slack channels
- Manager do not provide strategies or formulate expectations. This gives the manager the opprtunity to always complain about "bad" work
- System in use are not fitting the needs of the job
- Segregration of duties is not existing and bears high risk
- "badmouthing" of the supervisors is normal. They are complaning about "stupid" and "lazy" people but do not provide any kind of organisation or guidlines how the teams should work.
- Constant focus changes on daily basis. Priotization not existing. - If you raise concerns, they are either ignored or blocked with the command "Do your work, it is not your business".
- As concerns are ignored and supervisors do not listen to team members, for example comsumer protection in germany already sued and won the trial
