Remember that.

Managers are there to promote themselves by using you.
So the next time you do something for your manager, ask yourself.

If i do this task, will I be promoted or your manager.
If the answer is your manager will take the limelight and credit, then don't do.

Engineers are used like stepping stone.
Managers keep climbing higher and higher

My time there I was the one with a niche skill and certificate there. I even came up with a lot of recommendations to meet the customers' requirements. I was there to pacify the customer and take all the bullets when things go awry.

But no, the management rather promotes the engineers that make the most noises pointing fingers when it is obvious the planning and design went wrong.

When I tendered my resignation, the managers panicked and hoped I would stay and help them with the implementation of a new solution and kick-start a project. I really want to show them the finger but I see no point in wasting my own efforts. My point is simple, they could have shown more appreciation during my time there and not waited till I tendered.

I went private and took a different track although once in a while I still do what I did in ST.

My previous BU was not relaxed. People left and management wanted to keep manpower lean work was often delayed and I ended up doing more administrative work and pacifying customers as the technical teams were overwhelmed and could not produce the deliverables on time.

I dunno how you defined 'relaxed' but i would say it is still easier than in private.

What you faced in ST against govt agencies/stat board versus what you will face in Private against them is really different.

Sack you for poor performance? When they're lacking in manpower already they sack you who deliver? lol. Plus the fact that no much people wants to join. It might not be as iron rice bowl as in the past but the bowl is still more tough than private.

Come office 730 am, meeting back to back different suppliers. Few hours long.
Then end of the day need to prepare document etc. Leave office only 7 pm.

Every day rushing. For months is like this now.
Where is the relax part?
