Terrible place to be a project manager. - Recensione dipendente - Hardware Project Manager presso BlackBerry

Terrible managers. Huge bureaucracy - tons of boastful process documents about "performance management" and "competencies" and then when you play by their rules and do a great job, your manager agrees to everything you asked for - and then you sit and wait for the VP, in a different city, to give a crap and let you know whether you deserve to get it. 90% plus of my time on configuration management, data crunching, materials and sample request chasing - after getting recruited here from a Project Lead job at another blue chip company, after 10 yrs of project management in global projects - stuck here collecting people's samples. And all I can do is leave - and with the economy in the crapper, basically my choice is to just do this for now - kill my eyesight plowing through spreadsheets, get used to shipping devices to various users, chase materials. What else can I do until I find something better? The VP just doesn't want to act like I'm anything but a number - like a number way too far down the food chain for him to even address (like number 356.9.2.1.3).
