People are either promoted based on nepotism or they do get ahead due to their knowledge and experience but have people skills of a wet paper towel.
We need to do a much better job of identifying and promoting people who are qualified and have the people skills required to be a manager. What we have now is not working.
I learned to not complain but got smacked with - "You should have asked for help."
Leixlip GL's dont want to be there. They just want to be paid off so they can get out. There is a GL on shift D that is an absolute fool but is very pushy, designing training courses that do not work, finishes with quizzes asking information from other modules, and now is sending emails about passdowns inside the fab.
The techs are now to stop work at 6am/pm, and are to go and fill logbooks and write reports while the work is piling up. He is an absolute id--t.
True. Typical Intel personality is that of a moldy rock. As long as you talk monotone, fast in a constant drone, latest buzzwords and TLAs, and don't let anyone else speak
If you are joining a corporation you are a cog in the wheel. You may be a bigger cog then some others, but a cog none the less.
Don’t rock the boat it might sink faster than SR can plug holes meantime the truly influential are busy buying banks primed for other distressed assets hitting the market
Perhaps you see employees bringing up important issues to their managers as being, "a pain in the a-s." The way I see it, it creates a culture of, "Don't rock the boat." Just be a cog in the wheel. Why bring up a problem, if it's going to create more work for me, when my plate is already full? In turn, the problems don't get fixed and the issues continue. This is one of the reasons INTC is failing.
Bring back Brian from the fab
What is the difference between TA and Chief of staff ?
Most Intel managers that I know don't want to actually manage. They just want the money and the title.
They're toxic AF. Most of the GL's are promoted from tech positions and have zero management training or experience. And once they get promoted, they're put in position to manage their previous co-workers and they immediately begin promoting their friends while overlooking the contributions of others they don't know as well or simply don't like. The whole process introduces serious bias and makes it easy for unqualified people to get ahead and it can also make it very difficult for qualified people to move up in the ranks. See this B.S all the time
Well, technically that is a management strategy. If an employee is being a pain in the a-s then bury them in work...
I didn't know Intel had actual managers though. I was under the impression that it was 10 levels of posers collecting pay checks and showing pointless power points each quarter while making up some BS OKR's.
I love how when an employee brings an important issue to their attention and they just turn it around on the employee and make it the workers problem. They must be trained to do this. Totally worthless!
Let the delusional influentials be. Not everyone can be good for something.
