I work in a rather large company and am currently in charge of an office of 20 people. I have the ability because of our structure to transfer into a new position at any time. I have been at my office for 2.5 years and inherited the most difficult office in our company. Our CEO has brought it to my attention several times that he does not envy the position i am in. The employees are unionized and ultimately getting someone fired is nearly impossible. My office is the most senior office but I have gotten them to produce amazing numbers. We are competing with offices nearly three times our size. My issue is the conflict that constantly arises in my office. I have never met 20 people who could not get along with each other and absolutely hate each other. It seems like every single day i am dealing with some type of intervention or conflict that needs to be resolved. The way our promotion system works is a joke and i am at least 2-3 years away from sniffing any promotion regardless of how well my office does. I come into work each day and am legitimately starting to despise my subordinates. My manager who oversees 4 of our eastern offices is a complete waste and doesn't provide any support. The manager above him is also a joke.... so i am ultimately on an island with this group. I am paid very well and switching companies would cost me. I am considering transferring out of this office and taking a different position in our company. Has anyone ever hit this point with a toxic office? I have tried team building, nights out, morale building and NOTHING has worked. I can literally feel the tension every day in my office.
