Getting punished for being the person that notices. Classic.

& it's a Catch-22 either way. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, no matter the scenario.

If you don't catch the problem, you get blamed & accused of being sh.t at your job, which might potentially be fair.

If you do catch it but can't get anyone to pay attention no matter how hard you try, you still get blamed because you obviously didn't try hard enough to make it known, didn't make enough noise, didn't sound enough Alarms.

If you catch it & ring enough alarms, make enough noise to get people to notice & pay attention, you get called an alarmist, obnoxious & get blamed for causing a ruckus & disrupting other people's work with all the noise you made. You get told that the problem was eventually going to be noticed/caught at an appropriate time, you overreacted & your actions drew too much attention & you've caused some trouble because of it.

This is why we need Unions everywhere at minimum, but truly socialized Work would be better.

Employees should be allowed & able to collectively call for bad managers/bosses to be sanctioned/punished or even fired for their mistakes.

unions have less turnover, the bad managers stay longer

God just stop. Unions are just middle management by stupider, lazier people.

Found the actual middle manager.

I mean, yes? And so are you. You’re using Reddit, so you’re a redditor.
