You know what I think the real problem is? The amount of leaders who are career managers. By this I mean they’ve never been a tech, engineer, cs rep, sales rep etc. they lead teams not understanding what they do, not understanding the product or what happens on the front lines.
That’s all. Just a thought I wanted to share.
This is what malcontents and underperformers always say. Never met a manager here who hadn't paid his dues in the trenches (Verizon's or somewhere else).
Too many band 6 and 5s in meetings talking about things that need to be fixed but there’s one band 7 and random GTA dude from India doing all the fixing
I got to say, you're just wrong. I worked at Verizon for many years and I don't think I ever met a "career manager". Every single person I know there came up through the ranks, whether that's tech or engineering or accounting. Maybe the new CEO since he's not from our industry but I don't know any others. Examples?
Correct. Many dei promotions, nepotism hires and “look how many degrees i have” people. All that is mix of madness and not leadership but people on charge managing to spreadsheets and not the “business” itself.
💯!
That’s corporate America today. Executives think they should jump ship every 3 years to get raises. They really know nothing of what they manage…
Yup
you're not wrong
