Are you shocked by who got promoted?

I often wonder how it is possible that certain people, despite their obvious incompetence, managed to climb the corporate ladder...

@58ah Nope. It's the one who is in the GTO group in Cary. Never comes to the office. Is part of the nepotism that's rampant there meaning his daddy got him the job. He somehow holds power over AVP's and VPs.

@5888 Is this by chance the HR IT group that is unable to update the 401K contribution system so that you can easily have a separate contribution rate for the AVIP check?

HR has a splinter IT group that is a nightmare. They follow zero company policy and then it's everyone else's problem when things break. It's a joke. At any other company the guy that is the VP of that group would have been fired for the amount of money they've wasted over the years.

There is one who has been there for 12 years and gets to sleep in until 10 before deciding to turn on his laptop and do 2 hours of work once a week. He's STILL there! HOW?!

RIS continues to promote the wrong people and then tell those who are truly deserving, that promotions simply don't exist. 💩 culture, for sure. Cheap ba----ds.

@OP+1k9ztTI2 Thanks for saying this. I too feel it . Having good relationship and buttering your seniors and feeding them with gossips help here for promotion than people who do good quality work. I have seniors who have less technical knowledge than me but are due to promote in this cycle and push all the work on me acting busy doing nothing all the time.

EVP point blank said getting promoted has nothing to do with how much work you do or how well you do it. It's a pretty cr---y culture and they don't even try to hide it anymore. Also if you are in a DEI category, you're moving up, no questions asked. Great long term strategy.
