Because they were short-staffed, all the engineers who joined afterward started at 100,000, and then didn’t have to do any work—something the senior manager accidentally posted in a public channel.
The senior manager they hired really likes forming cliques. If you support him, you can do nothing and slack off while collecting your salary.
If you don’t support him, he will keep working against you behind your back.
He is a complete two-faced person.
The worst part is that the company does nothing about it and drives away the people who actually do the work.
I originally reached an agreement with the senior manager to take over some systems in hopes of getting a salary adjustment and reaching the salary level of the engineers who joined later. However, because my direct supervisor was dissatisfied with the senior manager’s actions, the company directly forced my supervisor out.
After that, the team was supported by only one or two relatively senior engineers. The people who joined later all got in through connections, including people who couldn’t even set up a development environment.
The key point is that they still earn more than you.
The company never discusses whether its own practices are wrong. It only criticizes the engineers and has no respect for technology. It never listens to engineers’ opinions. After half a year, nothing had made any progress.
The only things making progress were the incapable backstabbers; the clique kept getting bigger, and the system kept becoming more and more of a disaster.
The saddest part is that the people who worked hard but were driven away are still being treated as targets by the boss and senior managers. Much of what you hear about them and the backstabbing is clearly unreasonable, but the boss doesn’t believe it, because the boss and the senior manager are the same kind of people.
