Advice from a manager

Are you feeling frustrated and unfulfilled in your current job? Do you find yourself constantly complaining about your work to friends and colleagues? While it's important to acknowledge and address any legitimate issues in your current role, it's also essential to take action and make a change.

Instead of wasting your valuable time and energy complaining about your job, consider channeling that energy into finding a new and more fulfilling opportunity. Use your spare time to update your resume and LinkedIn profile, network with professionals in your desired field, and research potential job opportunities.

By actively pursuing a new job, you'll not only be taking control of your career and happiness, but you'll also be demonstrating to potential employers that you're proactive, driven, and motivated. So, let's stop complaining and start taking action towards a brighter professional future!

Advice from an employee.

If management would acquire these three skills, we would be much better off as a corporation.

(1) The ability to sunset bad ideas quickly before we spend tens of millions of dollars on research only to put the bad idea on the shelf.

(2) Look outside before reinventing the wheel internally. If there was technology that we could buy or lease from a third party technology provider that we could commercialize in our corporation to make money, buy it. It costs too much money and time to develop "Me Too" processes.

(3) You must punch your ticket as a technical contributor in a group before you can manage the group.

Such whiners! Hate where you work, always overworked and underpaid, toxic environment, then WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? Answer: because you are useless and no one else will hire you. Either quit or stop complaining.

An ethical and thoughtful manager at EM.

My guess is that the "manager" will be demoted back to a "technical" role, and he/she will need to compete with the "technical" employees that have more skills than he/she did.

In a healthy corporation, managers are supposed to be cheerleaders for their employees, not advising them to move on or quit.

Translation - please move on because I can't change the group's culture and don't want any trouble in my 2-3 year hitch.
