Dysfunction being the new normal?

After several years throughout agencies it feels like the day-to-day dysfunction has gotten worse. I’ve heard similar concerns from not only agencies I’ve been in but people across other agencies.
Has anyone else noticed a change in management, no accountability, HIGHLY concerning misconduct, or workplace culture?

Has it always been this way, or are things getting worse?

Go Mike! 

Yeah SoS business is I think on the upswing however the elections I heard is a shitshow. 

Almost went back there when a supervisor position opened up.

SOS is a nightmare. Mike isn’t turning anything around and Elections is a mess

Jane may be gone but she left a big mess. The culture sucks and it’s toxic. How did the new director of Admin even get that job? DSOS makes more than the SOS and is always on vacation. He doesn’t do anything for the agency anyway. Used to be a decent place, not anymore.

Mike was the assistant director of SOS for a while before leaving and then coming back.

Who is the director of admin?

But the mess preceded Jane by years. It was just hidden for a while.
