“You can’t make a living with PC, unless you work for the government. “

Sure you can. Corporations are FILLED with nothing but PC. Where else can a ‘Senior Engineering Manager’ have absolutely no engineering experience or experience with the company’s business and possess only a liberal arts “Business Communications” degree and a 12 week wonder Project Management Professional certificate and make $100,000+ playing Buzzword Bingo and making friends while failing to actually manage anything or produce a product?

I played consultant, from an engineer to a trusted advisor role to executive management, to over 200 companies through 25+ years and have seen this type of thing at all but maybe 5 companies.

I stand corrected.

I have worked for one engineering company that hired people with non-technical degrees (never mind non-engineering degrees) for engineering positions. Like teaching degrees. NO technical background at all. And most of these types were women. Just PC filler to show they were a “women-friendly” company. And yes, they moved up the ladder.
Buzzword Bingo. Not played at my company. Countered with “Get to the point” (the real version can be salty at times)

Wow! I didn’t realize we worked at the same place!!!

Can I ask what the 5 companies were/are?

Was this manager perhaps an “affirmative action” person with the qualifications the same as the Bozo POTUS?
