When I got out of the Navy, it took a decade to adjust to two things: incompetence and intentionally bad decisions by managers. Incompetence was rare. Everyone was very well trained and well organized. You literally had to prove you knew how to do a job before you were allowed to do it. Decisions were always taken seriously, and mistakes were pretty rare and when they happened, there were consequences for the people that made the bad decision, and that included senior officers. A willfully bad decision would land you out of the Navy at best, and in prison at worst, so most people cared about their work, especially the management level, to a level I do not see in the civilian world. The result: we trusted our managers, and they trusted the workers.
