I have worked here for over two decades and this is one of the more frustrating periods I have seen. The actual workload is manageable, but the constant politics between departments and leadership make the day feel heavier than it needs to be. We're spending more time avoiding conflict than solving problems. Most of the conversations are tense and few are comfortable speaking openly anymore. A few coworkers who used to be very engaged now barely participate unless they have to. It's exhausting, and for all the wrong reasons.

This appears to be a routine case of organizational sediment rotation. As alignment gradients weaken, decisions tend to sublimate directly from discussion into ambiguity, bypassing implementation altogether.
Quit. What's stopping you?
