Bob, I'm talking about the rot having set in during my time from around the time of GW1 or just before. Whenever it was that Bosses were rarely seen outside their offices as they were getting to grips with word processing... But I'm sure that stresses are probably even worse today.
PN - no idea about what you mean. The only stress faced by our excellent Stn Cdr at sunny Scampton was when he broke his ankle playing mess rugby and had to delegate the AOC's Annual Inspection Parade Commander task to OC Ops. Wittering had Harriers at that time and Cottesmore was on careless maintenance preparing for the Tornado, the Whistling Tits having just moved out.
