I have observed this type of thing many times. Here's how it often goes: (1) Organization objectives are not living up to hopes. (2) It can't be the bosses fault.

My advice for employees - never tolerate belittling and constructively point out the real sources of problems. Sounds real – not made up. I have observed this type of thing many times.
