Our division just hired a M2 to engineer a solution out. Data analytics.
Machine learning etc.

He everyday just researching..
Then yesterday in the monthly meeting with management basically saying that he need a team is software developer to come up with the solution.

But management shot him down that we hired him to come up with the solution.
Not for him to hire people to come up the solutions for him.

The new M2 can't handle the senior management. (not software trained one).
Heard he going to throw letter soon before probation is over so don't have to serve 2 months notice.

Alot of those high level position all come with no real experienced ppl one.
Company should promote existing staff to M2.

Not hire a brand new principal engineer. The new M2 probably got to that level by using his team at his previous Co panu la.
Which is why he need a team so he can take credit for the work and assign the team task...

Always always promote from within...
Not sure why company fail to see that.

They promote manager from within.
But hire technical people from outside.
Which shows this company lacking technical person and mainly infested by managers.
