Except in IT, which imo is a more ethnically progressive dept in most companies. Too white to benefit from diversity initiatIves, not white enough to fit in with the typical management Anglo Saxon / Franco boys club. My own additional paranoid suspicion….being a white guy with a foreign sounding/hard to pronounce name is the worst of both worlds. Personal karma is more important to me than business karma. But I dont enjoy that sort of office politics. While companies claim they value that sort of teamwork, IME it’s empty words…bragging and grubbing credit for saving the world singlehandedly, would have gotten me further.
The effort is supported primarily through user feedback with changes to a few of its search capabilities. I’ve always been pretty modest, sharing credit with my team etc. Project Owl is an endeavor by Google to try to reduce the amount of fake news and hate speech from showing in its search results. They always knew what questions would be on the exams and studied just those areas, really thoroughly, while disregarding the rest. I knew ppl in university that were better at taking tests than their actual knowledge as well. Some people are awesome at interviewing and taking credit for things personally….much better than their actual abilities or achievements suggest. In some places, you will always be seen for what you are, not what you could be.Īlso, life isn’t fair. Companies love to feel like they poached someone from a competitor, much more than promoting someone from within. Hiring externally for promotable positions is a big problem as well. Otherwise, I think the promotions are in earnest but the criteria is flawed (nepotism, or they just “look the part” and are expected to fit in well with current management). Never seen such a promotion at the middle levels…they just get fired. Or some newly created role where they will most likely fail, to justify packaging them out. The Peter Principle is an observation that the tendency in most organizational hierarchies, such as that of a corporation, is for every employee to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until. Peter in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidates performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. I’ve only seen someone moved up as a way to neutralize them only near the top levels….usually a promotion that sounds great, but has no reports or significant influence, to transition them out when nearing retirement. The Peter principle is a concept in management theory formulated by Laurence J. The Peter Principle is generally viewed as a perceptive and humorous insight into organizational processes rather than as a proposition worthy of empirical investigation.I’ve only ever worked in the private sector. Thus organizational performance will virtually always be at suboptimum levels. Indeed, in time ‘every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent’. Hence the principle that ‘every employee tends to move to their level of incompetence’.Įvery organization will contain a number of people in this situation. Individuals thus come to stay in jobs which they cannot adequately perform. From then on their job performance is characterized by incompetence, and promotion will cease. But at some point individuals are promoted to posts which are beyond the range of their abilities. The criteria for promotion is successful performance in current and previous posts. Individuals rise through ORGANIZATION hierarchies because job vacancies continually arise and need to be filled. Peter Principle the principle, formulated by the American management writer Laurence Peter (1919-90), that in organizations people are promoted to the level of their incompetence.
