ICOS managers spent time with the teams at least once a week and knew a thing about group dynamics. You are all so smart that you don’t need to see the plebs anymore. Of course, you see them as machines. You are too busy with your careers to realize you’re dealing with people. Good luck with that.
I am currently in another high tech multinational, with a better salary and without the KLA cut-throat mentality.
