Sounds a lot like how the military is (was? for me).
I think part of the new unprofessionalism is in-part due to our modern social media era of attention-seekers wanting their ego/image to shine through even in their jobs. It's actually more complicated than that, and a lot of it is warranted aside the distasteful imposition of people's "personalities".
Another aspect general of all the shit that's going on in the world related to the lack of professionalism, is that it regresses our society to primitive behaviors based on ego with no governance. We have less a concept of what's right, and we prioritize individualism over cooperation. I feel we are falling apart as a society, and it seems every man for himself.
This might be an exaggeration, though it is my opinion.
I think there's a dose of truth in that. Right across western societies, big employers worry about "employee engagement" . If you produce a "hire and fire" style economy where people either are on low wages, the job is insecure, they are treated poorly at work, or all 3 - you are bound to get staff who have low motivation.
If you work for an employer who treats you badly, where's the incentive? There isn't one. Big business are very worried about it, but the answers simple. Treat staff better, provide a decent environment. Share the profits etc fairly, and be honest with your staff.
Most people want to do a good job, but when they feel like they're treated like disposable pens, why should they care? The last manager of my office, was an utter tool. He presided over it's closure, so it could benefit his career. He lied to all of his staff including his own most senior managers over a two year period whilst he did it. I had been there (in various offices) over years so I knew what he was doing.
It suited me personally, I wanted to leave anyway. But that was what he did. When it was announced there was a large office meeting, about 400 people. They were in shock. They weren't left with no jobs but every body would have to transfer to another site, and do completely different work. Nearly all the senior managers left. Over 50 left without transfer, more than 100 left within a year.
It was a very "economic" way of getting rid of a large number of people without offering them the redundancy payments they'd have been due. But that's business huh? The guy responsible eventually got another promotion for his "valuable" work.
He had a mile wide smile fixed on his face every day as he did it all. I'm sure he'll go further. Lol. I learned it's more about politics, and what you can claim credit for, than showing up doing a good job, or working hard. That meant very little in that place sadly.
