Boeing reviews

low to mid level promotions - rarely based on performance - required to personally APPLY, and approval is based on how well you interview, not qualifications. Raises - again, not qualification/performance, it's how well you 'play the game'. Management avoid at all costs issues with problem employees (bullying) - HR 'generalists' do not have authority nor education to approach the problem, yet that's the hands its thrown into; common practice is to turn the victim into the target and ignore the real problem. Sad, but true, and apparently not an isolated issue.

Vast majority of jobs turn people into power point warriors who no longer do any productive engineering. Management ranks are over populated and most of them add zero to little value. Management is obsessed with status and use status as a means to justify their pay grade. Excessive management, company doesn't even know what to do with them.
