Vantaggi
The benefits are still good.
Svantaggi
The organization’s culture and reputation are in decline, accelerated by the implementation of the MITRE Way (MW). Its bifurcated management structure eliminates accountability and promotes “takers”. The practice of immediate promotion potential was a beacon for the overly ambitious. The poseurs realized that taking credit for a team’s work is not only acceptable, it is commendable. Consequently, staff with limited technical and domain bona fides are moving into roles for which they are ill-equipped. When these folks fail, they are moved to safe staff jobs versus being demoted and sent back to work programs. Finally, the latest MW ”feature” - co-department heads and technical directors – totally ends accountability and merely adds to the appearance of everyone gets a prize. Why not take this to its logical conclusion and have co-VPs and SVPs?
