From my experience at Oracle...
Stop sharing your big ideas or new project concepts with management. Most of them honestly don’t understand the real technical depth behind the work.
They rarely join brainstorming sessions or real idea discussions. They only show up when the final result is ready. They don’t want the struggle or hard part of building something. They just want the finished product handed to them so they can approve it, sign the document, and take the credit.
If you suggest new ideas or projects before having complete results, management might even start seeing you negatively. And honestly, a lot of these managers can’t even get proper resources or support for their own teams. They have just something called Managerial EGO.
They love starting trendy discussions around hackathons, POCs, innovation, learning sessions, and all that. But most of the time, they only know the buzzwords because they heard them from someone else. They build vocabulary, not actual understanding.
At the end of the day, you’re there to finish the work assigned to you.Not to help management look smarter using your ideas. Some of those ideas could actually become your own startup someday and make you far more successful instead of helping useless managers climb higher.
