My only guess is that the turnover is high because the work is boring and unfulfilling. While it's nice to be on "easy street" if you plan on moving up the ladder quickly, boring/easy projects aren't going to help.

If it's not particularly hard enough I have a ton of biz dev work I could give people to add on to their work load but literally everyone just complains they want to be doing strategy work instead, there is plenty of internal strategy work to be done to win more work but no one wants that. I'm so frustrated. PWC/Deloitte folks getting laid off who actually want to work and I have duds

Literally all the new staff complain about everything. I get the group doing the pmo work may feel boring but the rest of the group doing requirements gathering and current/future state work it's pretty interesting work. The client is engaging and there is enough budget to promote a bunch of people over the next couple years. I just don't get it, I try to explain but I feel like I sound like "when I was your age I walked to work up hills both ways" it's a fairly easy gig, room for promotion, interesting stuff

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
