Incompetence in Corporate America

In previous posts I might have been giving the benefit of the doubt or beating around the bush about what I’ve see and the personalities I’ve dealt with in the Corporate State that we live in.  Now I’m going to be brutally honest.

 

Our businesses (as well as a lot of our government) is being run by complete idiots.  In all my experiences I have never seen such levels of incompetence and stupidity as I do now.  Not even during my time in the military.  I have worked with Software Engineers that might have been a little lost or needed some guidance before while in the military but I have never come across anything like what I have seen in Corporate America.  I feel as though there are a handful of intelligent people and the rest have just ‘bought’ a degree from somewhere and somehow were able to claim the titles that they have.

 

I have never before in my life worked with anyone with a Software Engineer title and they didn’t know how to use the most basic of business software.  I have never in my life worked in a industry leading computer distribution company and the managers (not the current area I work in) have no clue about the hardware or software that they supposedly are managing.  Did I just walk into the twilight zone?  If so, then this all makes sense.  Up is down and down is up.

 

I have lost all confidence where I work.  I no longer feel anything for the work I do nor do I think that the people in charge are worth listening to.  Of course, I will continue to do my job but in my head I’ll be coding my next software project at home while these imbeciles blab away and continue to solidify my lack of confidence in their leadership.  The only thing I look forward to is finishing my home projects so I can publish them (overseas) and make enough money to walk away from this place.

 

I honestly wonder what would Software Engineers and Developers would say back in my home state if they saw what I see.  They’d probably have a fit and let everyone know about it.  Companies lose talent by being unattractive to those that can help them make money….one can only wonder…
