Growth Despite Micro-management Hell
Growth Despite Micro-management Hell
A place to grow your career and has good job stability. A chance to work with many competent engineers and learn.
Schedules are tight and the expectation is that you will work overtime to make up for management's overcommitments.
If you don't work overtime, then socially you will become a pariah in your section, as you are increasing your colleagues' workload by not working overtime.
Everything you do is micromanaged. Even emails to external vendors must be approved by management two levels above you.
- Social pressures to work longer.
- Vacations and breaks are not encouraged but are challenged by management.
- Commit to making the experience better for employees and show up for them by providing support.
- Allow for flexibility in schedules when issues are encountered.
- Operations highlights don't help to alleviate inefficiencies but compound them with more workloads.
- Reduce the continuous pressure on employees.
