I’m currently working at a place that calls itself a global firm, but honestly, it feels like a local "Lala" shop. There is zero structure or standard procedure here. I realized how deep the problem went during a recent operations meeting when the Head of Ops and the EVP were just shouting over everyone without any clear agenda or logic. It’s like a circus being run by people who don't understand basic corporate standards.
Even the Head of HR operates with that same 'Lala' mindset, supporting whatever the top brass says instead of following professional policies. It’s incredibly frustrating to try and build a career in an environment where ego overrides process every single time. I feel like I'm losing my professional edge working in such a disorganized setup where nobody seems to know what they are doing.
How do you deal with a complete lack of professional hierarchy? Is it worth trying to suggest improvements in an owner-driven culture, or is it better to just move on to a structured organization?
