Stable job with many benefits, but stifling red tape - Manager National Library Board Employee Review

Pros

Stable job. Slower pace. Lots of benefits.

Cons

Red tapes, red tapes and red tapes. People can tend to lose that kampung spirit of helping each other out as everyone is out to protect themselves, worrying about leaving any audit trails which might get them in trouble. Lots of layer of approvals and justifications for works to be done. Bosses and superior can be salty at times, I mean come on, driving a Conti car to work and they were making indirect statements and comments in group meetings. "I know some of you might be born rich, but try not to drive fancy cars to work it might not look good when auditors are here and their cars are smaller than yours". You can question your staff's work capabilities but I guess you cannot question what they drives to work. We are in living in a democratic society not Communism in North Korea where everyone share equal wealths. While you are driving a small car to work, that doesn't mean I have to stoop to your level or even ride a bicycle to work. PS: I bought the car with my own earned salary not generational or family wealth.

Pros

There is a good work-life balance and good benefits

Cons

Some managers and bosses are mean-spirited bullies who shamelessly exploit their juniors. There is a incredibly toxic yes-man mindset in this company that stifles individual agency and growth. Resistance is not tolerated in this place and prepare to be faced with extreme reproach even for the smallest things if you do resist.
