Arbitrary Hiring and Promotion Decisions Not Based on Merit
Arbitrary Hiring and Promotion Decisions Not Based on Merit
Some teams work on cool, interesting things.
Some teams feel like country clubs, where white male managers and engineers go to do the whole "good ol' boys club" thing.
Are managers here corrupt or incompetent? I can't say which is the more accurate adjective to use, but there is no correlation between merit and employee levels here.
Pay attention to what people on your team are doing and do your job instead of making excuses like how hard it is to get people promoted.
Do your job, or find yourself a different role that you are a better fit for.
