Work in a blame culture

[druiaghtagh]

I work for a large employer who are more interested in scapegoats than morale or production, who are quick to critcise and never give praise, does anyone know of a website where people with similar problems can discuss this with each other please?

Sorry can I make a suggestion,

The outfit you are working for, if they as, you say they are, they are in a poor state,  because if production is not one of their interests, and also morale...... I think I would be looking for a new job..... because they don't have a great future.

Thankyou for your answerTosha, at my age (53) however it is a bit late to think of moving employers.

druiaghtagh, it is pretty common place for people to work within such a culture, and something that I have personal experience of.  However, I have often found it to be a managerial issue, rather than an organisational quirk.  If you find it difficult to find work outside of the organisation, then it might be worth looking for other positions within the organisation itself, working for different people, with possibly different objectives and a different outlook on life.  However, if you do not feel confident that there are areas within your business that do not have this mentality, then it may well be a good idea to grasp the new challenge of new employment, and when possible opportunities come to interview, you have a valid, respected and honest reason as to why you have looked for another employer.  There will be other opportunties, they just might be harder to pin down.......if you want another job, you can get one, just go for it!  Best of luck.

dru - there may be an industry-led discussion website that you could tune in to.  What industry are you in?

If this is the case, there will certainly be opportunities for you if you have a bit of a sniff around........if job satisfaction (and in turn good bonds with the organisation) is more important than a pay increase, then there must be opportunties available........as for a website, and I apologise for not answering your original question, i'm afraid I don't know(!), though Octavius or other Aber's might!
