The Perception of Competency

What I have noticed in this company is that people give the appearance of competency while not really knowing or understanding the fundamentals of what they’re doing. Since our last ‘real’ Engineer in Mobiles left to Dell, I have noticed a trend in what the other ‘Software Engineers’ as well as ‘Hardware Engineers’ actually do. It seems that they get by without any real responsibility for their actions simply because they are backed by the Management/Staff or are apart of a governing/powerful group within the company.

However, what I see from this unofficial hierarchy is the extension of racism and favoritism. The way this works is simple. Those in favor will be promoted over others regardless of knowledge or ability and the rest stagnate or fight over the scraps left that they think might position themselves into a position of power.

In reality, the job titles have little to do with what is really going on. They are simply for show and to show that they are just in a favored position.

I have been collecting evidence for a lawsuit and will continue to collect information in order to show my lawyer evidence of unfair treatment of employees/contractors. It saddens me how a few can spoil the bunch but in this case too many of the bunch either do not say anything about these injustices and/or actually feel that this is what should happen. Therefore my hand is forced to right these injustices myself.

Even company emails sent are very questionable in their materials (such are pictures or what the content may imply) and I will scrutinize them as well before handing them over for legal counsel.
