  1. These aren't really 'Leadership' fails, the examples are all lower to middle management issues. Those are terrible jobs. They don't have the power to make anything right, and take all the blame (from upper management) when things go wrong. EXCEPT in the cases you cited. Those are the only times they have power to do the right thing, so spot on there! Real 'Leadership' isn't as much of a 'Bob's your Uncle' when things are going well, otherwise they will turn on you. Examples of real 'Leadership' fails are things like sending everyone to work from home for COVID, hiring a bunch of people, then deciding they have to 'return' to the office, even if they were hired as remote. But only if you live within a certain distance of the office. And attendance will be taken, and it goes on your performance review. And when I get to the office, I'm in video meetings with all the people that didn't have to return to office. That's a big Leadership fail.

  2.  @jaywinner328  That's what I was thinking. So, I need some OT? Great I just come into work late! Win-win! Except I'm salaried. And hybrid. On days I work from home, I start at 8:00am. On days I work in the office, I leave the house at 8:00am. I start working whenever I get there. They actually haven't said anything about it.
