Management is overly obsessed with staff's admin performance

-Toxic working environment ensnared in bureaucratic power struggles. -Lack of transparency and low trust 'watch your back' culture. Leadership was about protecting turf and career preservation. No sense of your boss having your back. 'Friendly' fire was the norm. -Inept managers who interviewed you for one job and deployed you into another (temporarily at first, then permanently). Potential career-wreckers. -No genuine effort to address issues but adopted a 'just-get-it-done' attitude. End result was constant fire-fighting. No sense of achievement. -(Both academic and administrative staff) locked into using a multi-million dollar academic IT management system fraught with technical issues and relying on inefficient workarounds. -Senior management oblivious (or conveniently chose to be) to failings of HOD despite numerous exit interview feedback and very high turnover record. -Poor work-life balance. No surprise.
