How is management in Siemens
5
I was terminated and escorted out of my last job in the Healthcare IT industry without warning. It was due to reporting a few coworkers for violating HIPPA, and preventing a social engineering attempt in real time with security and fellow clinical systems analysts. Was informed that doing so was a terminable offense because it is not my responsibilty to contact our security team. Later found out that the Human Resources Department didn't approve of my termination and advised against it
What is the most pointless thing you have to do on a week by week basis? For me, I just think about how much time I waste in some of my team meetings that I feel provide no value to the group. Sometimes it feels like the 30 minute meeting I have every thursday could just be an email
The work culture on my team is pretty bad. There is high burn out, lots of fighting, finger pointing, working 24/7. When I bring this up, the leaders mention that this is just how tech culture is. It is worse at other companies. I haven’t worked at another company so I feel like I can’t counter. What should I say?
Engineers should probably form unions.
I’ve been WFH from a different country for three months without telling HR, and the anxiety is finally starting to eat me alive. My VPN is holding up, and my manager hasn't noticed that my home office background is just a stock photo. The tax implications are probably a nightmare, but my quality of life has doubled since I left the Bay Area. Is it better to ask for forgiveness if I get caught? Should I just keep going?
It’s a HUGEEEEE company, so depending on the business unit and location you will meet amazing managers or pretty 💩 ones. Mobility and Healthineers are usually better than Industry and Energy.
I found my management team to be very cold and non supportive in my role.
It is awful, unless you are German. The company highly discriminates.
