[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you give examples of what you mean?

There are attorneys in my (fed govt) office who behave terribly (yelling, nastiness) particularly the litigators. There are no consequences.

There are attorneys throughout the agency who behave inappropriately in other more "mild" ways (microaggressions or straight up aggressions in meetings, particularly towards women and minorities, talking over people, taking credit for their work, dismissing their ideas, etc.) and generally it is ignored.  I know of at least two individuals who had something escalated to their management because it was so bad that other staffers felt uncomfortable and said something.  I don't know if there was a PIP, but eventually one did leave for another job.

A prior poster said something about how people may not know there are PIPs and that someone is leaving of their own accord due it one.  I suspect that is often the case but I am not in management/ HR.  But there are also some awful people that stick around.[/quote]

op - it's so many things so many times a day.
people getting fired off pieces of biz via group email intro-ing the new person. everyone throwing everyone else under the bus all the time. people refusing to recognize someone else's role or job title, or just refusing to work with them bc they want to build their own thing. people being told whole teams are moving out from under them bc someone else 'wants them'. it's like high school but so much worse.

This sounds like a cultural issue.  Does management think that competition/ aggression results in better work product?[/quote]
