If you’re prepared to be driven to death by upper management and take the blame until you die, then come on over....
Engineers can learn things (because you have to handle everything yourself)... PMs don’t need to; they’re merely someone’s scapegoat.
The company is pretty short-staffed, and I’ve heard many people will be fleeing soon.
Apart from spouting bullshit, a certain manager has absolutely no ability whatsoever. Before each project comes in, they interfere by making random demands and wildly inaccurate estimates. Once the project is secured, they dump the mess on their subordinates and disappear without a trace....
When the project blows up because it can’t be completed, they come running out again, acting as if they’re very responsible and will “take responsibility.” If it gets finished, it’s their achievement; if it doesn’t, it’s everyone else’s fault....
And no one else is allowed to question them! They’ll immediately raise their voice at you. If other managers are present, they get amnesia. Their ability to deflect and dodge responsibility is truly masterful—slipperier than a loach. Very impressive.
I don’t understand why upper management keeps a useless person as a manager and then turns the whole company into a complete mess. Or are they really so stupid that they haven’t noticed at all?
