- ChuckNorris89 4y ago>management is the best path to money, competence and effort be damned Basically every German company ever. ICs be dammed.
- formerly_proven 4y agoWhere management is literally the only career path in almost every company.
- thih9 4y agoAnd you get promoted until what you do changes so much that you’re not good at it anymore, so you can’t justify another promotion and you remain a middle manager.
- xyzwave 4y agoThis is called the Peter Principle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle
- nr2x 4y agoI wonder if that’s why Google has so many badass ICs in Germany.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSince when is Google a German company?
- nr2x 4y agoVery big engineering presence in Munich, also Zurich (which I realize is not Germany).
- etempleton 4y agoI would say the worst are those who like the power and authority management titles provide.
- jokethrowaway 4y agoThey're not the worst, they're just a waste of money, they could just not exist and probably everyone else would be better off. They're a -2. That said, there are plenty of managers who put in a lot of effort into ruining everyone else life to satisfy their ego or what their understanding of the job is. They're -100000.
