19th century factory mentality:
- People's needs are not a concern for the management
- Expressing your opinions is not well received
- Days off, even when you have 12hr+ accumulated, can be allowed but will be frowned upon
- Management does not trust the workers to work from home - it only allows to do so due to the government constraints
Problematic IT management:
- Manipulative and vindictive personality
- Huge ego
- Workers are targeted if they question management decisions or claims
- Very weak leadership skills and software knowledge
Other stuff:
- Some partners don't seem to care if the project goes forward or not - management leaves it to researchers to solve this issue and magically continue with the project
- Terrible lights that hurt your eyes and gives you headaches
