Graveyard for career aspirations

Project Manager
Current employee

Pros
Decent monthly wages
Learn to protect your own self interest

Cons
Change of bonus structure extremely demoralizing
Unclear kpi, lack of clear communication of expectations from leadership.
Even winning award for system only got "...meet basic requirements of role"
Expect workload to be hijacked by random ccas and unreasonable timelines

Advice to Management
lack of leadership skills/strategic thinking/planning/accountability from top down, but punishment only at working level

New management issue

Software Engineer
Current employee, more than 1 year

Pros
Used to be good, similar to private market practices

Cons
Limited promotion, heavily relies on curve which makes things less transparent.
Higher management seems to like doing things on a wimp, changing goalposts without much considerations of the ground staff.

Advice to Management
Stop giving excuses on rushed decisions, good things take super long time to decide and give heads up to the ground staff but bad things can just implement without warning.
