However, with all management at director level and above having a complete lack of experience, knowledge or even some understanding of how to manage the operation they are seemingly conspiring to destroy the operation due to their complete lack of experience and ability to make simple decisions.
This coupled with a culture of Secrecy, Lies, Narcotism, Bullying, and non-compliance from above, it’s a wonder they are even permitted to operate.
I reckon you’re pretty much on point OD... except I would say that despite (mis)management’s worst efforts, from what I have seen frontline operational staff and crews are doing good work, and safety is a high priority.
I am guessing too that the purse strings have been pulled tight as a result of the fiscal disaster caused by the pandemic so certainly not an “unrestricted budget” anymore, but you’re point is well made - with knowledgeable management and effective leadership potentially an industry leader!
