Sounds like a place in the Midwest. We are understaffed and people act out of fear all of the time. Now we are forced to plaster smiles on our faces or they will think something is wrong with us. They call it a culture change. I call it a cover-up for what's really wrong: mentors who are non-existent but appear in crisis situations to blame you even if it's not your fault, people who are afraid to report the problem, people who twist things to make you look stupid when you really do have the skills and help others in your job and people are negative all the time!

The three preceding postings actually make me see that I am not alone. I took a job approx. two years ago and am now sickened by the political climate that prevades every aspect there. I am looking for another job because I am fed up with a tyrranical senior manager, a middle manager (my direct report) who is so fearful of making a decision that he obfuscates (like the twenty buck word?) and takes no stance on anything. Add to that a head office team (I work for a European based organization)that is myopic when it comes to the NY office and you you have a great formula. Just realize that all you can is keep looking and get out.
