Very jialat one.
Cause the team size so small.
No budget.
Then people here really long marathon.

So got one team can have
1 senior manager
2 assistant manager
1 project engineer

That kind of hierarchy...
End up the managers also doing work like engineers.
The title is just because they have been here too long 10 years etc. So have to be promoted..
But really it's just 1 manager but become senior cause too long.
And 2 senior engineer too long so promoted to "assistant manager" role.
Then 1 project engineer fresh grad hired to help out.

So in this kind of team structure.
Where got growth. Project engineer end up cheap labor do all the work trickled down.
Managers also doing the engineer work etc.
Project engineer won't be promoted. The only way out is the prokect engineer work 3 years realised no growth. Quit.

Then can hire a new project engineer.
And the cycle repeats. Its very sad but that's how the company is setuo

Benefit a few in the comfortable retirement position.
But those E5 E6 is just hard labor with no growth.
