Boundaries. Walls. Ceilings.

Pros

Office hours. Office location. Used to be a trusting place. However with the influx of new people from uniformed groups and absorbed personnel from COVID-19 employments, the place had become increasingly ‘crowded’ and isolates the experienced employees in preference to the younger and ‘reliable’ ones that requires lesser pay.

Cons

Boundary Erasure: Constant after-hours contact via personal phones creates a "perpetual on-call" culture that disregards employee well-being. Bad Faith Appraisals: Performance reviews are used punitively rather than constructively, characterized by repetitive, historical grievances that ignore current progress. Downward Accountability Shifting: Management refuses to provide necessary approvals, instead offloading the risk and burden of decision-making onto subordinates. Homogenous Leadership: The agency’s leadership lacks diversity to an anomalous degree, indicating a culture of exclusion that is unique even among its peers. Disparate Impact on Minorities: Professional development and promotions are withheld from minority employees, pointing to a discriminatory barrier to entry for senior roles.
