Lack of Accountability in Leadership - Anonymous employee National Bleeding Disorders Foundation Employee Review

The organization is very top-heavy. A severely top-down reporting structure and lack of an open-door policy creates an environment where VPs who struggle in their position can escape scrutiny, as they can effectively block requests for accountability from their staff who might wish to raise issues with higher-ups. There is a general feeling that upper management will protect their peers rather than investigate problems, resulting in frustration, low morale, fear of retaliation, and high turnover among the rest of the staff.
