Wow. An engineer that brings innovation is now to blame. The work is something that more or less everyone can do, innovation? Not for everyone. How many patents does an engineer release on average?
It's evident that the company doesn't give a damn about innovation any longer. It starts with "hey we need great people with great ideas" then it degrades to "we need people". What do companies like this really expect? Einstein? Edison? Sometimes innovation comes in multiple steps. Look at the list of most prolific innovators, they thought about stuff that we would consider useless at least. Still, the patents are there. This company, specifically, doesn't seem to value all ideas. They should simply stop this bogus program.
Look at IBM, it's the company with the highest amount of patents in the US (AFAIK). Do they all count? Are they all comparable to the invention of the telephone? How many other inventions were needed before that? This engineer released a lot of patents, and it seems that now, yes after 30 ideas, he had a very valuable one - which means for the company maybe some million dollars.
Why so late??? That's how progress works.
