Never seen such a gaggle of useless egotistical fu--s. Taking all the oxygen out of the room with stupid ideas. Honestly if Nike fires them all tomorrow they’d be better off.
The distinguished engineers are typically better, and would be able to select leads/seniors to promote to principal.
But this would require leaders who don’t also su-k sh-t.
NKE consistently fails to admit that sticking feathers in your butt does not make you a chicken.
“Taking all the oxygen in the room”.
Honestly, that describes GT posting on this website.
@t0: works in Global Tech that's all I'll say.
and 1000% came up "through the ranks" not a "friend of the boss hire".
The PE on my team constantly states incorrect technical facts, interrupts people, and makes poor decisions without weighing trade offs. Truly awful to work with. Honestly, least favorite person I’ve ever interacted with in a corporate environment
@cx who is that? i wonder if everyone else feels the same about them?
Principal engineers are bad engineering director are worse and sr directors and VPs absolutely useless. Fire those useless yappers and hire some good engineers.
There's a few principal engineers I can think of that are brilliant and Nike is very lucky to have them, especially after everything that's been going on.
Distinguished engineers though are a whole other story. I haven't met one that earns his paycheck. Most of them disappear 85% of the time and cancel every town hall they have scheduled.
Aren't all of the project people in GT change management in engineering titles? Everyone does that so those roles can have the higher software engineering pay bands. Way to go Nike! If you have a body, I guess you are a software engineer.
@ga that would be a team in corporate functions.
@bv I worked on a team where product managers and people who were basically doing social media management were labelled software engineers. Nike is a strange place.
I've worked with a few and left with good impressions. Maybe a few arent great?
I only know one and he is brilliant and worth double his pay.
But certainly in other areas they are almost "self declared" like some sort of weird organizational survivor title.
@cm fսck that, power to the people!
@ck ooooh, it's automatic. weird.
are we not allowed to say the fu-k word? Why does everyone performatively sensor themselves here?
God so true. The one working in CAS is being used as sr director’s admin.
If you haven’t don’t SWE roles in technology teams and you don’t meet the bar for a SWE profile, then you are not a SWE. Nike has two many people that call themselves SWE at senior levels but don’t meet the retail SWE bar. They would find it difficult to do the job with all the AI coming our way.
They’re not really engineers. Ask about their bachelors. Accounting, psychology, no engineering related degrees for a majority. You’ll enjoy watching them trying to seek employment outside the shoe factory. Never before and never again will they get to call themselves engineers.
Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-haw…. So fu--ing true. Blow hards waving their magic wands expecting the ‘lessor’ folks to fulfill their clouded vision but yet responsible for nothing, cleaning up after nothing, and leaving a trail of sh-t as they go. LMAO!
What is a principal engineer?
