When I worked there, they wouldn't assign me tasks and then blamed me when nothing got done.

Getting blamed for their incompetence was the task.

The way you phrased this could go either way: were you never taking on more work, no matter how obviously it needed to get done, just because you weren't explicitly told to do that job? Because that would be a fair criticism in my estimation.

Bad management creates excess redundant and disorganized labor for the base worker.
If your boss is shitting this stuff out uncontrollably, perhaps that's their problem more than yours.
Either way, sacking all those people won't get the work done any faster.

5 0 ReplyI guess it depends on the employer. I don't do office work myself, but according to what I've heard from my wife about her jobs in banking adjacent fields, she has a few different queues of things to do that everyone takes from.
