| Jun 14 at 16:48 | comment | added | Questor | Out of curiosity.. Is your company still in business? I know a handful of companies that screwed their P.Engs... and then went out of business because P.Eng are in fact very hard to replace. | |
| Aug 11, 2021 at 1:07 | comment | added | CoffeeTableEspresso | A lot of the comments and answers assume he's being malicious here, but honestly, if I were working for a promotion I'd be working extra, and if I then got passed up for someone's nephew, I'd probably stop putting in as much effort too.... | |
| Apr 11, 2021 at 12:46 | comment | added | Barry DeCicco | @NotVonKaiser: "I would nevertheless be very wary about keeping a person who behaves like this on the payroll. First and foremost, this is a tactic that he did not have to use but did, and going forward, you have to take into account the idea that he will pull something like this again the next time he feels wronged about something."

Was it anything like "we want you to have more exacting standards when signing off on tests," or "you need to prioritize client requirements over internal admin" such as signing off on junior engineer work records? If so, he's not "playing" or "wasting time out of spite." Be careful not to assume too much. | |
| Mar 7, 2020 at 11:01 | comment | added | Mike Wise | First reading through I missed the part about a relation of the exec board getting the promotion, it is buried in the middle of the text, but it is a major part of the problem. It deserves to be highlighted, in this post, as well as in real life. | |

| Oct 28, 2016 at 8:22 | comment | added | Nobody | I notice that the troublesome professional engineer is responsible for evaluating security and safety features of the products. Yet, people paid attention to the salary and office politics in the question. I would like to call attention to the users of this site about why this question is vital to the workplace by reminding everyone the recent event - Samsung Note 7. If Samsung had paid more attention to the safety of their products, they would not lose billions of dollars. | |
