As good as the last sheet of toilet paper

LOL @ky+1jnedr77v. If you think the higher LL don’t know what’s going on you are foolish.
A couple of examples an LL4 asked certain LL6s to create FCG positions to do coding for a project he had. Those LL6s did put in the paperwork and got selected. At the last minute, the LL5 replaced the FCG positions with positions under his sycophants. The LL5 told the LL4 that the LL6s were too busy and didn’t want to mentor FCGs. The LL4 learned from the LL6s that this wasn’t true but let it slide. The poor FCGs were baited and switched.
An LL3 attended weekly meetings for projects for over a year. These projects are ones that went completely off the rails after the 2019 SRD. Week after week finger pointing and delays, mind you these were 2 month projects at best.
Most are just hoping to make it to retirement without rocking the boat.
@q4+1jnedr77v the great ones remove roadblocks and run interference with bulldozer-like effort so their people can get the work done. the not so great ones load up their people with useless bureaucratic chinese fire-drill exercises and just pass down the non value added assignments. if you don't know what a chinese fire drill is, ask a GenX'er.
As a supervisor, what you are supposed to do is get the priorities of the organization, work with your team to provide a vision of success, make assignments, agree on timing, remove roadblocks (especially with political issues), two-way updates on status (usually through 1-1's), help with career development, do performance reviews, handle HR-related personnel issues, and more. If they are not doing that, it is their fault, but mostly it is their boss' fault.
Sounds like the question is whether or not the CAD supervisor is himself a cad. Meaning, a scoundrel!
If the upper management wasn't so self serving they would listen in on meetings and make surprise appearance to buildings of work to see what actually lazy supervisors and LL6's, LL5's are really doing.
They won't and the laziness will continue.
@fh+1jnedr77v Nailed it about CAD supervisors. They can't draw a line between two points but they think they are smarter than everyone. Upper management places them in this position because they don't know what else to do with them.
I have never met a CAD supervisor worth his or her salary. Totally useless paper shuffling mo--ns.
They are heart breakers. You get close to one and then they leave you for a younger GSR.
Ask not what your supervisor can do for you, but what you can do for your supervisor.
Useless along with LL6 and LL5+
Stop surfing the internet and get back to work Mike. Kindly, your supervisor Ron
