stress at work

major changes at work is putting a lot of pressure on everyone and some people, including my managers, are turning on each other and at least one is aiming their frustration at me, which is quite frustrating... but what is even more frustrating is that i am not getting support from corporate anymore and even worse, the loudest complainers are getting support so i've got to back down and let them get away with poor performance and some dangerous defiance that is putting clients at risk while blaming management for not taking action and the action we are not taking is the action corporate will not allow us to take... a recipe for failure, so the idyllic corporation is showing some serious incompetence... my mistake is asking them to stop dragging their feet on the plans they keep saying they have and simply to live up to the mission statement and ideals they keep professing they want every staff to extol... alas, people are so afraid of change, they undermine their own good ideas right at the top and shoot down the actions i take to put their ideas into practice...

so we shall stop the improvements in care and services and allow staff to remain in conflict, disorganized, and the lazy ones will continue to complain and undermine morale because they are complaining too loud and the corporate answer is to give them what they want so they don't leave because too many of them are leaving... never mind that the plan was to hold those same staff accountable and if they did not improve, terminate them and not replace them... suddenly the plan changed because the turnover statistics don't look good for the board of directors who really have no clue what is going on when it comes to client care...

sad, even the corporations who profess high ideals and teamwork fall for the same fears of change... so i will put the brakes on the improvements because my boss says i should and sit and wait and see what happens... how that could possibly raise moral i don't know, but i know how to follow my bosses instructions, even is she lets one of my directors or managers disregard mine... that is increasing stress at work, but it's supposed to raise morale... it doesn't have to make sense, it's corporate thinking...

just do it...
