FM reviews

Use of state-of-art technologiesand applications produced are not always user-focused. A lot of data entry; however, better than it used to be. Department management is a good old-boy network who are biased towards a select few, This only produces cnicism in the workplace. While some get the promotions and perks, others in the department are feeling disenfranchised, powerless, and unappreciated. (comments based on both observation and direct experience). Managers need to go to bat for all team members (don’t pick and choose), especially in tough situations. For better or for worse, employees expect some developmental help from their manager. Allocate meaningful responsiblities and opportunities to all team members.

Management are often just promoted engineers. Fondness for tedious and extremely voluminous instructions, and as engineers, for sticking to the letter of them. Not very creative. Work is always getting more complicated, complex and regulated.
