When Juniper hires people for managerial positions, experience is ignored, knowledge is optional, as are people skills. The main skill that's required is knowing to nod your head and keep a straight face no matter what kind of a stupid thing you're supposed to support wholeheartedly. That's it. That explains our current crop of managers perfectly.

So true, so many inadequate managers. And look at corporate, HB the VP of self promotion!!
Completely agree, the worst managers I have ever seen. A RD in EMEA wasn't even a good CAM, very lazy and unresponsive. But he knows the right people !! Ridiculous
I disagree with your comment. I am not sure what department you work at but your opinion is incorrect. Most of managers usually are promoted from the internal pool of qualified employees. By the way, I am a retired ex-employee.
I’ve never worked at a place with this many yes men managers. I’ve concluded it must be part of the stepping stone process. They become managers, work 3-5 years there, then go somewhere else. The good ones end up at Palo Alto. The rest just move around wherever. “The Juniper Way”.
Agree with you OP.
