Duke Energy reviews

In interviews I tell people that I left the company due to the impending merger -- a good politically correct answer. I really left due to my AWFUL manager who was put in his position for one reason and one reason only -- his race, a card he played to get ahead. This individual, because he was uneducated and incompetent, micromanaged, bullied and otherwise made our lives MISERABLE. He piled on work to those of us who would do it, because he had absolutely no control over the slackers who wouldn't. I was insulted that he had the opportunity to review me as an employee and had any say in my future with the company.

Central IT administration prevents anything getting done at the plant level. Very cumbersome. Procedures are very broad and heavy with paperwork. Trying to cover different process (coal plant vs gas plant) with same procedures which doesn't work. Should be specific to type of operations.
