They seem to have finally accepted that morale in my office in particular is terrible and have spoken to staff individually about what the concerns are (the biggest one being we've got very unprofessional members of senior management causing a lot of misery), now the Chief of Ops is coming up and asking for meetings with everyone (I have no idea what repeating what we've already said to another manager will do, but that's what they've asked for). I'll be very glad when this week is over.
Forgive me for being very cynical but I suspect that what it will do is give the people at the top a tick in the box to say "we listened" without action to back it up.
I hope this grumpy old so and so is wrong though and it results in things becoming better at work!
Oh I don't disagree with you at all - the fact this has all been said to a member of senior management already makes me feel it's a tick box that Chief of Ops has met with everyone and "listened" so that they can say in future that they did.
I'm leaving when I find another job anyway, and I think even if they acted on concerns it's too late for a handful of other people also. I'd still like things to be better for my colleagues though, hence agreeing to participate on the slim hope it results in change. In reality though, one of the main problems is my direct line manager and because of all the functions that sit with her, they have absolutely no backup plan for if she left/was demoted, so I don't believe for a second they will act on anything to do with her. Most of the other problems are structural and will be the work of months not weeks to solve, hence me feeling it's too late. -

Really sorry Maark, I hope she finds something more stable soon.

Absolutely. I once worked in an office that had an extensive damp problem with large patches of mould visible on the walls in the part of the building I was in (the solicitors whose offices were near it all got moved, the support staff didn't matter) and I had recurrent sinus infections for about six months. When I finally saw an ENT specialist he laughed himself daft upon hearing the context and that I worked for a solicitors, and at the follow up appointment openly offered to write any medical letter I needed in order to take them to a tribunal, because the situation was so ridiculous. It never came to anything as COVID happened and I left during the lockdown - and miraculously the infections ceased. Who'd have thought?
Anyway, hope your GF is on the road to recovery now. -

I felt very similarly when I tried the Da Vinci Code many years ago.
Finished the First Law trilogy - I definitely want to read more Abercrombie, but having a break for a few lighter things first. Nearly finished A Short History of the World in 50 Failures which has been an amusing read. -

If you're already autistic, does paracetamol increase your powers? Asking for, um, a friend. Definitely not me wondering if my powers are in some way limitless
