The main problem is far too many senior managers including numerous Vice Presidents, EVPs, Global Directors, Directors and countless other senior managers. If you need something done, nobody knows who to approach, few of those managers will take any responsibility and the standard response to difficult
questions is "ask your line manager" as if your line manager is empowered to answer. Too many people in
non-engineering roles that simply aren't needed whilst
technical staff are undervalued. HR have brought back
rank and yank with the new appraisal scheme, there's an external recruitment freeze for 2024 and redundancies are constant pointing to things not being as positive as the
share price indicates.
