-No accountability measures. Or, willingness on the business’ half to endorse basic management principles that are critical for progress and success. - Unmanaged employees, with no agency for FLMs to staff or implement performance plans as needed. This company spends more time protecting under performing employees than it does attempting to improve their performance. -Lack of employee engagement. Most meetings are headshots on a screen, at best. If you attempt to engage with the floating headshots (ex: ask a question or encourage them to engage) expect HR complaints of being labeled as taking a “fear based” approach to management. If you’re looking to connect or have coherent conversations in meetings….this isn’t the company for you. -Insubordinance is normalized. Not to be confused with critical feedback (that’s healthy!) if you dare ask an employee to do anything, ever….and gosh forbid, follow up…..you’ll face encouraged whiplash that any other professional environment has structure and expectations in place to prevent.
