It may help to put yourself in the mindset of your group leader, and figure out how to present your feedback as assisting with their problems and priorities. I’ve heard “junior engineers bring me problems, senior engineers bring me solutions.”
- giantg2 6y agoI understand that. The impression I've gotten is that the managers got where they were by going with the flow. They don't care about ideas that come from below unless they align with an existing mandate from above. I mean, if you're making that kind of money, it pays not to rock the boat, even if it's beneficial, when the person above you holds all the power. The other issue is how do I tell if it aligns with what they want? There's so much salesmanship in the leadership talks at large companies. I've brought in suggestions that clearly aligned with stuff stated in those sorts of meetings, only to have it basically ignored. With some of it I was able to find out from friends that the real goal behind the scenes was completely different. I generally only bring up problems if there is a solution for it. Otherwise it's just complaining, which I still do but not to my boss.
