I know in recent blogging news, that a google employee lost his job cause he compared google and microsoft benefit packages, and more importantly decided to disclose company financial stuff. When I do talk about work place related things, I try to keep them as abstract as possible, and non person specific as possible. It's rather funny to just look at the situation minus using people's real names anyways. So at work one of the senior engineers was promoted above our line manager. To me it seems that the senior engineer is now above or equal to the line manager now. The only responsibility that the newly appointed co-project manager really does other than what the line manager already does is the schedule. Today I heard them get into a kind of funny conversation. The Line manager looked at the schedule, and said, "You're assumption for this task taking this amount of time is, wrong!" The co-project manager responds with, "It's only this, this and this." And of course the response from the line manager is, "Nope you assumed wrong, think about this, and this." It was hilarious, co-project manager got straight pimped! Ahh Engineer to Engineer interaction, completely circumvents any kind of cordial, "excuse me, ahem, but you're wrong," kind of response, and just simplifies to, "You're wrong, now shut up, and nod, bitch!" I see much humor in this. I wonder if the rest of the world operated like this, how efficient would it be?
