One person says one thing, another says the opposite, and somehow the work still has to get done. I thought that the guy who told me when I first joined that 1% of the people do 99% of the work was joking. It took me a year, but I finally realize he was very serious and was warning me.

@5j8 Dr. Gartner is a well-known SE micromanager. Known for milkin on the udders of his superiors, he is also known for grandstanding and ratting on his colleagues to HR. Claims to know everything about everything. Do not trust and watch the squirtin clown flower.
There are no such thing as traditional managers at Juniper. You have individual contributors with direct reports. You must be new.
@432 Good advice. Heard about him getting crunk with colleagues only to turn them in to HR.
Be careful around Dr. Gartner. Acts like ur homie and then turns you into HR.
@3wh He's in the upper right Gartner magic quadrant for Micromanagement.
@q3 Prince? That dude is the KING!!
It's better than Crisco. There is one unethical and unqualified secretary - sorry "project" manager - for every 2 actual engineers
@pp do not forget the prince of micromgmt, Dr. Gartner.
@jd oh yeah are they ever
Very top heavy, filled with people who failed up and have no insight or current experience. It takes 10 of those fools to say yes but only one to say no.
Just do the work assigned, as assigned, and be happy with your 10 hour week. You really can do two corporate jobs at the same time. Three is too stressful though because it becomes actual work to manage it.
Many formerly from Nutanix / Cisco / are micromanagers.
Yeah, lots of managers. Trying to get an answer or them to actually manage.... good luck with that.
rookie move. you should say okay and then not get the work done
I just say okay and then get the work that needs doing, done
