Was told by my manager that a current peer (same grade, roughly same time in grade) will soon be my new boss. How unambiguous a message is this of “we don’t give a flying f*k about your future here”?

I bet they share their idli during lunch
Not kissing up around here could even get you laid off.
@ugv then you should openly talk about this with your +2 manager and let them know your concerns. In a few quarters if you still feel the same, you can move to a different team. Take career in your own control. Move away from situations that are restrictive for your career.
@zqa+18dEgkzP, my 2 cents is when you are at ~max(grade)/2, a grade diff of only 1 just means they are putting a cap on much they’d allow you to grow
@uwl If your answer is "NO to both", then what are you complaining about. If others have aspirations to become a manager, let them. If they dont manage well, provide feedback. Discuss with your +1 manager.
I never wanted to be a manager at Intel because I did not desire to apply their regimented yearly review formula to others.
OP dodged a bullet. Manager is worst job you can have at Intel
They go to same church, go to gun club, go hunting, vote 4 Trump, both in 3rd divorce kids have many sets of grandparents
@azf+18dEgkzP by gosh that was funny how you wrote that
Don’t worry too much. Instead, consider your options. The competitive marketplace is giving Intel a “performance message” and it’s headed toward a “corporate-level SL4” in the not-too-distant future!
@hve+18dEgkzP, no to both
@OP Did you want to be a manager ? IF yes, had you talked to your manager about your aspirations ?
buddy buddy system. They probably do BBQ together on weekends and possibly even they are cousins or from same Village. Nothing new for Intel.
