suck up or forgot promotion
suck up or forgot promotion
Many extremely talented and competent staff are present at the working levels, including engineers and applications.
Some VP/SVP/EVPs are clearly incompetent, don't know their own market dynamics, demand situations. Some have major character flaws. They got to their rank bc they just suck up and some EVP love that. Below Director-Sr. Director, you are asked for perfection -- above-beyond performance, be liked by everyone, be known by everyone BUT no such criteria is applied once you pass those ranks.
You'll find ppl with major character flaws and significant incompetency at all of VP levels. Under some EVPs, you should just forget promotion bc they are so scared of not meeting PFO targets that they are crazy stingy to give any raise.
Culture comes from the very top.
Oh yeah, of course you know that.. Good to great.... It's working...
