I like the next sentence even better.

"The candidate must be self-motivated and self-directed, with ability to set priorities and achieve quality results."

Apparently the engineer is self-motivated (sets one's own goals and salary), self-directed (ignores management directives), sets priorities (does managements job), and achieves quality results (gets the job done despite the efforts of management to derail it). Now that's a job I could enjoy doing.

But would *YOU* take the job?

You work cheap!

Bad bet. Too many things beyond the engineer's control. *WAY* too little money to be making such bets. It better be a damned sure thing for a couple of months work to bet that kind of money with all the unknown risks.

Gee, you don't care about anything else, why discriminate against politicians?

The employer has a risk to manage too.

HR will never buy that one. It's likely to get the EEOC people upset too.

You really think so?!

In reality it begins to grate on your nerves every time you read about the latest achievements in getting some sailbout to cross the globe in the corprat nuws! ... While YOU are on your own waiting for approvals from all the managers participatiing in the "event". I just left a place like that.

Luckily the stock is way down & I dumped the crap already. Hopefully some manager bought it!!

Yes. In my limited experience, the benefits of NOT having management around, far outweigh anything they can provide by their presence. Managers do what managers do best, which is to manage. To most, that means to change things. If nothing needs changing, they must find something to change or they are not acting as managers. If everyone did their job perfectly, and things were going perfectly, then managers should be able to lean back, do nothing, go sailing, and reap the rewards. That's never the case. Instead, they meddle, change things constantly, demand reports, reorganize, and generally make things worse in the name of managing. The clueless PHB (pointy hair boss) in the Dilbert cartoon strip is all too typical. If someone advertised a position, where I could do my own thing (self-directed) without reporting to the traditional meddling managers, I would have jumped at the opportunity.

Great. If sailing events are unavailable, I can supply a list of other suitable distractions. Even if management does remember to show up to work occasionally, there are plenty of things to keep them busy that does not involve project management. For example, at one employer, my immediate boss spent the bulk of his day on the phone with various stock brokers, micro managing his portfolio. At a consulting temp job, my immediate boss spent his time playing various computer games.

Unfortunately, some managers just cannot be tricked into spending their days with unproductive activities. So, I arranged for a small part of the project to simply not get done. Conveniently, it was well within the expertise of the manager. To pick up the slack, he volunteered to this part of the project, which kept him busy and out of my area. It was great.

When you're inside, and see all the daily horrors, the company always looks like a disaster in action. You wonder why anyone would want to own the stock. However, on the outside, a proper public relations effort, a dash of creative accounting, and a few bribes to the analysts, can make even the living dead look like a going concern. Perception is everything and largely runs the stock market.

It's sales, gross margins and the balance sheet that impresses the serious investor (except for companies that somehow inherited huge real estate holdings and the like).

You too will learn that while management cannot be bothered to release the ressoures agreed upon when starting the project - yet they can be bothered to blame you for being late afterwards ;-)

Their JOB is to kick the rocks out of our way IMO.

That is because most of the business focus these days is on producing Key Performance Indicators and not on any product or service of a tangible value. Only the very top and the very bottom of an organisation cares about the business - the entire middle layer (the lard in the cake) is all about process and KPI.

That's running your own shop! Many engineers here in Denmark setup micro-breweries or similar businesses that requires technical skills but not the ones that have come to be associated with Pain and Regret through a "career" ;-)

I travel a lot with work and I have even met two taxi drivers that were former IT consultants and now drive taxi because they got fed up with IT work (In Denmark the salary difference is not great after Tax).

True!

But I still wonder how anyone can percieve a 0.2% dividend good enough value to buy inherently risky stock (or in the case of holding NASDAQ from Europe: -20% p/a the last year!) Yet people do!

I would like to agree, but that does not seem to be what is taught in business schools.

Actually the KPI stuff infects the top management as well. Even most investors are that way. (Where is my piece of the pie?)

Maybe you could get some laffs from BOFH.

Yes, we have FERC to thank for Enron.

The US dollar has been way overvalued for well over a decade and perhaps for several. The corrections you see now have been a long time coming and will continue for some time. There is still time to buy in to the China bubble.

Well, to be specific, it would be consistently growing sales, profit, etc. The market is an attempt to price on future earnings, not the present.

Huge real estate holdings. You mean National Semiconductor?

"Frithiof Andreas Jensen" hath wroth:

My favorite personal horror story was being assigned to clone an existing product. The problem was that it barely worked, had some hard to find parts, and was difficult to produce. This would normally be a good time to fix some of these problems, but no, I was to copy it exactly. I balked, fought, complained, but did it the way I was instructed. Of course, when my copy didn't work any differently than the original, I was blamed for the failure. A brief conversation with the company president revealed the reason for the exercise. They wanted to renegotiate the price from an outside assembly contractor, and wanted to demonstrate that we could do it all by ourselves for added leverage. I quit the next day.

Yep. I've worked for a few that did that. At least I didn't have to deal with marketing, finance, facilities, etc. That worked fairly well. However, a few managers didn't know when to stop protecting their engineers. They would control the flow of information until I found myself working essentially in the dark, with little clue as to what marketing or management were thinking. The result was a not quite on target product, that would have been much better had those involved were supplied a clue as to what they were working on. I also tend to be somewhat demotivated if I don't know what's happening.

That the real problem with middle management. They get it from both sides. I've been there and didn't like it. However, you're describing the symptoms, not the cause. The problem is that under ideal circumstances, middle management would be completely un-necessary. Upper management would declare what's needed. The workers at the bottom would just do it. No need for any interpreters or expediters in the middle. However, middle management instinctively knows that they are un-necessary. So, they create situations to justify their continued existence. Processes, reviews, reports, PowerPoint, design reviews, and such, can produce enough confusion to justify the necessity of middle management. It's a self perpetuating system that shows no indication of going away. Upper management also does not like to deal directly with the vile scum at the bottom of their organization chart. So managers form a convenient interface for upper management, so they don't have to get their shoes dirty.

When I was working as an employee, I would take on all manner of consulting jobs on the side. It wasn't the money. I was simply bored with the day job.

There's plenty of illogic in the stock market. During the dot com bubble, it was not unusual for high tech companies to have a 80:1 price/earnings ratios. That (very roughly) means that if you buy the stock, you expect that the stock price will increase about 10 times to eventually produce a reasonable P/E ratio. It's even worse when companies buy other companies for cash (not stock), where the current earnings of the purchased company is perhaps sufficient to make the purchase break even in perhaps 20 years.

However, none of that has anything to do with my original point. I've worked at companies that, from the inside, closely resemble a disaster waiting to happen. Only the employees know how bad things are working or running. However, from the perception of an investor, the company looked quite profitable and promising. The company was eventually purchased by a conglomerate, who only wanted the customer base, and eventually killed the company and most of the products. The original investors did quite well. Those that bought stock based on the profitability and promise, did not do so well.
