talking to friends in several departments and noticing a trend of some managers and directors using the current uncertainty and fear and they are taking advantage of having a longer leash than usual. i.e. the difficult ahole you try to avoid has somehow become an even bigger ahole and its going unchecked.
Accountability feels like it's going one direction lately when it comes to professionalism and borderline workplace abuse. to make things worse, some "leaders" are aware that it's hard for staff to even flag these management behavior issues when the company is already in crisis mode and we are all just trying to keep our heads down so we can keep paying rent and put food on the table.
I saw something that never would fly in any other workplace setting and people are either too concerned to cause issues or they are so beaten down they dont bother.
Hard to stay focused as it is. Some of these people in leadership roles are past professional training and need to be held accountable. if you're in a role where you can report things without getting into trouble, do it. that problematic and unbalanced dipsh-t becomes weakened when people come forward together.
