Mediocre Engineering, Failed Meritocracy
Mediocre Engineering, Failed Meritocracy
If you are not very smart, you can fail upward or do some real politicking.
If you have half a brain, you can see that the engineering is at best mediocre. While the word meritocracy is thrown around a lot, your own merit will get you nowhere. You'll hear a lot of excuses about how nothing can be done because it's just the way it has always been done.
Start doing some critical thinking when talent raises long-standing issues. Start cultivating an environment where people who can do more are able to do so.
