Basically, we have found out recently that there was a lot of Machiavellian scheming going on, our old boss was forced out so that the friend of someone quite senior could come in instead. So, this is our (now not so) new boss. Relations between the team and our boss and line manager (also a friend, brought in a couple of months ago to "manage" the team) deteriorated hugely. Then, a couple of weeks ago, the team was sent on a team building exercise as apparently we weren't working well together (though we do work VERY well together).
They then asked us to present our findings and ideas on what could be done to improve things. We got the sweetest, longest serving member of the team to present. As soon as she started speaking, you could see the barriers coming up, and the boss started shouting at us. They barely listened to a single suggestion, and when we asked to be allowed to do things like work from home(allowed under our employment contract), they did not listen and started saying that they couldn't work from home, hence no one could. Then, there's been some conflict with other areas, where they were doing our work (and badly). I pointed one of the situations out, and she said, don't bother getting involved. She would rather not make enemies, even though what could happen is a major risk.
Roll on the day when they bring in 360 reviews because these people are TERRIBLE and at present, we have no other recourse.
Rant over.
