Hi, I hope you are doing good. From my personal experience, complaining about your manager to skip level manager is called Career Suicide.
There is nothing good that can come out of it,, except getting fired.

- axelriet 6mo agoIt is, but “Microsoft runs on trust” they say. They also say the CEO’s inbox is always open, actually the CEO himself says it in the yearly mandatory training video on business conduct. So it should be safe, in theory, to openly speak out in the best interest of the customers, no? Rhetorical question :)
- auggierose 6mo agoDon't believe everything people say. Watch what they do. By the way, are you not worried about NDAs and such?
- RajT88 6mo agoYes, there is how things are said to work, and how they actually work.
- chris_money202 6mo agoI feel like emailing the CEO in this case is just a no-op, the inbox is gatekeeped by his staff and very unlikely he saw your email. That said, “inbox always open” means you should come with a problem AND a very well detailed solution. But question becomes if you had a detailed solution that was good, why wasn’t it ran up the org chart with buy in and why did it have to skip to the top.
- axelriet 6mo agoThe answer is “intricate politics and misplaced personal interests.”
- chris_money202 6mo agoBut that's part of a great solution... it sounds like you might have had a good technical solution, but that's only half the solution in enterprise. If your technical solution requires another team to completely retool, its not a great solution overall.
