I work in particular ASIC group and my director is an old SOB. I have done some amazing designs and my skills are unique to the group but I dont get along with him. Maybe cause I have a PHD and he is an undergrad? This MF still hasnt given me my rewards statement. I know he has delivered them to others. I cant tell HR since he is sleeping with her. What else can I do?

Which directors, VP, and principals were responsible for the 810 failure?
I know one guy who came in as management because he was a vp's old college roommate. The guy was a joke, knew nothing about anything and was running a project.
I know another VP who was such an ass people deliberately slowed down work when he was involved.
It's a mess, but it won't ever be fixed, easier to fire the worker than fix management.
Haha 810 power was FUBAR because the person responsible for power projections was too busy sucking up to do his job. He got promoted on a promise (much like Obama getting a Nobel prize for doing nothing), failed to deliver, lost us a giant customer and he's still around. Survival of the brown-nosiest, aka business as usual at the Q.
As for VPs, there's one who basically keeps an eye on other people's offices and gets pissed off if someone with a lower title ends up with a better office. Yep. A VP. Keep it up, SC! Your HR buddies will make sure you're always taken care of. What a joke.
There are so many directors/managers/principals.....with no real deliverables...810 is a very glaring example....power was too high...everyone knows that power is high....all this was due to ASIC people who had no clue as to what they were doing.... it is appalling to see this situation..... it is amazing that someone is defending them.... do you need so many management people.....that is the what is taking Qualcomm's culture to shit and will lead to its ultimate decay.......
Meaningless meetings....just BS....
Also, my jerk off Director never ask for a Shareit and has never done a review in the 5 years working for him. I dont even think that old retard even knows what it means to be manager and help employees with their career. That SOB is too busy generating his BS patents and making himself look good. Yes, I am frustrated and pissed.....
Oh look, someone from HR replied, or maybe it was an ASIC director..
Q has always had notoriously bad management, and they hurt more than help. I could tell you a story about a vp that would make you shake your head in disbelief, but then the HR clowns would know who I am.
94589 - Your so full of shit. Shareit is a scam and no one gets punished or demoted based on feedback from this system. You must be a HR drone pumping up this worthless tool.
I'm in ASICs and I've seen several people get a demotion based on non performance. You can use the ShareIt! tool to provide feedback for anyone including your supervisor. Managers are rated for their management efforts as well as their technical contributions. I doubt most of you even work here because you don't know these simple tools. If you don't like your manager, you should ask for a change in management. I've seen that happen too. I can also tell you that I've seen high titled engineers get punished for failed projects. Someone always have to be held accountable.
It's silly to state that your manager is sleeping with HR because HR isn't one person. Did you get your PHD in stupidity? No wonder you haven't been doing well and being rewarded for your fake contributions. You probably don't get along with your manager because you're a dick.
Motorola is another example of this issue that brought them down (besides the other obvious issues). They called it the Peter Principle. Engineers that think they can be in management/director level but have no business sense. Looks like QC is using that Principle well......
There is no real performance appraisal for managers. Most of them suck up to the upper management. Managing up is the norm .... There are so many of them that it is appalling situation.
It is beginning of the end for Qualcomm . Snapdragon 810 was a mess because it is unbelievable blunder and no one has been made accountable for this f*** up!!
One guy who has a major failure was promoted to sr director instead of being punished. It is a very sad to see this
94481 - Agree. What I see are lots of these "engineers" that made their way up to Director and cant direct/manage. Obviously they have done this to reap the benefits and feel like they are worth something. We have a few on our group that sucks asssssss when it comes to managing. They only like to work on the NEXT GEN products and could give a crap about helping other engineers with planning, organizing, etc. Too bad there isnt a way we could rate these losers. I would give all of them a '1'.
94481 - Your a moron.
I hit 5 years with QC and my boss is jerk off and continues to be a jerk off.
this is the case with many directors/managers.....I have never seen any management person getting demoted or made accountable for failure......that's why there are so many crappy people at the top and management level who not just hamper the people who want to do new things ...will do anything to make sure everything that you are never a challenge to them as far as promotions and power is concerned...... there is nothing surprising about..... there is a lot of dead fat people who have been there for 15yrs and more just want to make sure that they somehow stick to control things at the expense of the company...
obvious spam. you are going to have to try harder op.
