You know, I don't really know that I've ever experienced this. I feel like my engineering work doesn't really challenge me to think through my ethics. Is this something you've dealt with often? Hard for me to even think of a project that would challenge me this way

Not really that I can think of. Other than like having the option to sign off on something that I haven’t confirmed to be completed. In which case I’ve chosen to go verify before signing off

Is April month salary slip generated in FIS Global ??? Mine is not showing, when it will generate?
I doubt they didn't give me quarterly variable , I joined in mid February and even salary came less than previous month.
Did they deduct tax in April month salary of it is then fine because they didn't tax in March month .

Kindly comments if anyone have idea .

I've noticed that the engineers keep their mouths shut whenever they're asked for feedback, but when they're alone, they talk about how much they wish they could change management.

Why is that?

I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it?
