Spot on.

I am so tired of the competitiveness in engineering to make the next pay band.

You cant rely on a portion if teammates because they are jockeying for position and in other situations your opinion isnt valued because you are not high enough on the engineering ladder.



This was a disgusting revelation to me once when I heard someone openly say, “I didn’t know he was a Pay Band X! I need to start listening to him.” And then when he was found out to not actually be in that pay band, they reverted back to dismissing his ideas.
