With so many talks about Public Service production and moral one has to wonder why we keep putting in place managers with no experience and knowledge has leaders of teams instead of promoting Subject matter experts?
I have experienced this so many times with over 30 years in Fed. government but still can’t understand it.
New manager comes in and creates a tone of additional work and stress to SMEs due to lack of knowledge. Its always existed I assume but seems to be worst. People pass exams , get hired as managers and move on real quick knowing they are not in a good spot both for them and their team.
