Case study for aspiring project managers in technology.
Title: Forty points someone
About: The hero is a WM, eng. project manager in the same org. of suburb campus
Personality: active listening, soft spoken, venomous from deep inside
Goals Achieved:
Hiring - Four new hires left the team in the same year.
Firing - Four high performing senior emps were forced to retire.
Project Mgmt - Major projects flopped.
Key Accomplishment: To motivate the team he used to request 100 bravo points. He awarded 60 points to the deserving emp and kept the rest 40 points for him. Roughly accumulated around 4000 in his account. Somehow this caught the management attention.
Outcome: He was moved to another team, one floor below. He managed the new team for a year but couldnt make any positive impact.

Any guesses on the next course of action taken by management? like was he left to continue in the same position or demoted or kicked out???

Climax: He got promoted as asst director of engineering and moved to a tall glass tower. Yay story had a fairytale ending!
The takeaway from this story: I'll leave it to the reader's perspective.

WIT, continue the great work of showcasing the success stories of PC's men in tech!

mgr of benefits !
mogul of coimbature !!!

A few directors own a house in every state they live in. I learned that their FIL, who lives in India, gifted them a house in the USA. That sounds lovely, right?
But wait, how is this even possible? I mean, their wives work here too. So, the FIL isn't Ambani, the richest man in that country.

If he transitions you from fulltime emp to contractor, it would be a wonderful opportunity for him. The vendor will pay him $5/hour from your billing, around $800 in revenue for him each month. Well he can make payment for his tesla.

I've worked in various places and observed that the career path in tech is usually unidirectional, like a contractor working hard to become a fulltime employee. But in this particular org. it's somewhat bidirectional: a contractor becomes a fulltime employee and a fulltime employee is forced to transition to a contractor role with one of the vendors. These career transitions occur within the same timeframe, which certainly suggests that some monetary transaction is very likely involved.

A money movement is always in progress between the mgr in this org & the offshore vendor.

Doesn't the king of collusion deserve a separate post or we put down all the insights here? Please advice

Expose them here. PC is a yes-man. Getting rid of KB was not enough. SC should fix the house or leave. We have had enough with these id--ts KB brought under the disguise of “leaders”.

PC did not bat an eye when KB left and is seen licking SC these days.

Hello there are many men under PC who are destroying tech. But none has the guts to expose them. Simply singing about SR.

We have all seen what DEI has done at Delta with their "unmanned" flight and radical pilot who can't even land a plane. DEI has had a similar impact at NM with dropping out of the top companies and a pathetic AIP. SR single handedly destroyed Tech with her WIT and radical DEI views. TG are all waiting on you to fix things. Where is your Elon?

Someone recently rated NM as the "2025 Best Place to Work" just 2 days ago. I felt so proud that I celebrated by making chicken biryani for dinner that same day.

These surveys are nothing but self-fulfilling prophecies. Baird used to pay its people to rate their company highly on these.

Is Workday the internal d@ting app? Listing your “skills”…

He need not uproot anything. If investors are given transparency regarding the fees charged, that would be more than sufficient.

Think TG will improve the culture?

And I’m sure you’ll be obsessing over him incessantly to that point and beyond. Nothing better to do, I guess.

Heard he’s still paid through June but no longer the hr leader.

Dude doesn’t even work here anymore. Seek mental help.
