How much yearly hike can one expect at Société Générale ?
"Depends on performance" seems to be a very vague answer.
Can someone please elaborate on a better answer.
Also, Can someone shed some light on promotions?
Is there any policy, like you have to work for X years to be eligible for promotion etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I run a podcast called The Lawtrepreneur Briefing that explores what's makes a modern lawyer modern. We do this by having conversations with people driving the transformation of the legal profession.

I've been fortunate to work with and for some brilliant and ethical engineers. One fixed equipment engineer recognized a serious process safety hazard risk on some equipment. He wrote an internal memo that spelled out the facts, including hard data that could not be ignored. He was advised the equipment would remain in service despite the known safety risk. He signed the memo witnessed by a notary public, stamped it with his PE stamp and submitted it. The equipment was used at risk. He resigned a few months later. Several of his staff followed him out the door.
I'm a structural engineer so it is pretty easy... The engineer of record (aka the person whose stamp goes on the drawings) makes the decisions. They take the responsibility so it doesn't matter if the person disagreeing is the manager or CEO. Generally speaking, however, I believe the data/logic-driven approach is the way to go. I find the approach of asking the manager questions rooted in data/logic is more successful than directly challenging with data/logic.
Where I work, you state the issue.
And they will ignore it even if you raise a valid concern...
Hahaha I think we work at the same place
Same
Thanks for sharing
As a manager myself, I tell my team that as far as technical issues go, I am just another peer opinion. However, when decisions need to be made regarding priority, business risk or other business-related issues, I would certainly listen to my team but ultimately, I would make the final call.
Pointless. You can say what the problem will be, and then it occurs, and they blame you for it. The whole thing is just a club.
One time, I strongly disagreed with a change in direction in a product that was going to replace our bread and butter device. I thought we would piss off our existing customers trying to attract a much smaller additional market.
I brought it up with my manager and he said we could discuss it over lunch. He took me to a nice Chinese restaurant and we talked. I left the meeting still disagreeing, but willing to do my best to implement the changes. I hid the old code behind #define statements just in case we needed to switch back quickly.
Unfortunately because of a major mistake made by a different group in our company, we never got to find out who was right.
