Toxic Environment Fueled by Poor Department Leadership - Manager Emerson Collective Employee Review

Department leadership constantly shifted priorities without clear communication, leading to wasted effort and frustration. Department budget decisions were opaque and frequently seemed to prioritize vanity projects, paying close friends or family for freelance work versus utilizing budget within the department to support organizational goals. Department leadership frequently resorted to public shaming and threats, creating an atmosphere of fear and low morale. Goalposts were changed arbitrarily, making success unattainable and efforts feel undervalued.
