1. Ignoring the expertise based off your title and refusing to create data to prove otherwise. When you are hired for your expertise, many and often times, your expertise are ignored. Thus, the growth of the company is highly impacted. Along with that, brings a lot of feelings of being of no value to the company, questioning if there's any growth and meaning onto the workforce for the longterm.
2. There's no trust between departments for a very good reason. A lot of people in certain projects and launches are kept in the dark from each other. And many people who originated genuine ideas and solutions are often discredited and given to those who didn't deserve it. When things go wrong, many talented workers are often thrown under the bus a bit too many times creating bad reviews which stunts any potential raise and growth in the company. This creates fear and helplessness from this power struggle. That brings to the feelings that many felt that they couldn't trust the Human Resources department as well. And so the whole office becomes a hostile and anxious work environment about to turn into a ticking time bomb.
3. Lack of growth. Lack of resources is pretty much the reason behind that. Resources and budgets are first come first serve for every department is what I was told. If there's no claim, then that department has lack thereof budget to support their colleagues in order to support the other departments. Which creates overwhelming environments. Overworking people. Pretty often, with no rewards for that effort.
4. Depending on who your manager is, some people can't take vacation or even a small break when things get slow sometimes. This also roots from #3 as there's lack of support for this. Understandably, this creates significant physical and mental exhaustion from being overworked.
