If there's one thing that I know is true about bad management, whether it's directly above or a couple levels - they never play by their own rules.
At the first display of this, either with big or small examples, every employee should watch their back, take extra efforts to support their colleagues, and prepare an exit strategy - immediately.
You may be the perfect employee and think you'll never be let go, but chaos is ruthlessly unbiased.

They're not yet comfortable giving direct negative feedback so stuff festers and isn't communicated. Nothing to say but that sucks. This could also be a really underhanded way to avoid paying severance or unemployment. In that case, you can claim unemployment even if your company says you were terminated for cause. You'll (my experience, anyway) have to fill out a form with the state saying you were never given negative feedback. The state adjudicator will ask your former employer for copies of your performance reviews and the paper trail of negative feedback. When none is forthcoming, I'd bet you'll get unemployment. It's not much, but it's better than nothing!
