Engineers avoid being project assigned if you value your assessment

Warning to all engineers: if you are ranked with global projects they will use you to fill the bottom of the forced distribution. The narrative in global projects is currently that engineers add zero value only executing “project management professionals” as they call themselves deserve high assessment results according to GP. GP employees are vocally saying in meetings things like:
“engineering is just something to get out of the way so the real work can start”
“The way to finish a project is to demobilize all the engineers”

Avoid assignments on Guyana projects, expat assignments, UNCON anssignments, any project assignment or assignment where you will be in the same rank group as GP employees.

The projects are ranking the engineers low. Good luck executing bad designs with bad specs and no technical support.

@bs and yet they wage war in engineers and think they can do it all by themselves.

This is true but what’s also true is that project management professionals do not have the technical depth to scope projects properly, particularly in BPO.

There is a war in engineers right now. This is just another example. They also are reducing the number of chief and senior principal roles and reducing the CL of those roles.

For chiefs and principals who make it to high CL they are also being ranked low. Freaking top of the technical ladder and they are put in the bottom of the rank group!

Engineers used to be ranked in separate rank groups from GP for this very reason. It is a known issue which means they are intentionally doing this. Probably to try accelerate headcount reductions specifically in the engineering groups to move jobs to India.
