Thread regarding Chicago Bridge & Iron layoffs

Lousy managers

The person I work for only cares about one thing, looking good to her superiors, at any cost and without regard to her employees. To this person an employee is only a tool for her to use to or I should say abuse to show the higher ups her “abilities.” While we get absolutely no credit nor even a word of appreciation. Counting the days until I can make my departure, it is in the works! There is no future in this hopeless and misguided company, it may take another year or two, but mark my words there is no future here folks! All done.

That's not only your manager, @QIkavgx-1mao. Mine is just the same, and I bet CB&I is full of them. That's exactly why the company is where it is. With people like that as "leaders," we can't really expect better.

Trust me I know, they are not real engineers. CB&I lets the real engineerses go because they stand up and do not play their hide the truth game.

Most of the engineers that work at CBI are incompetent and lazy. That's the truth and everyone knows it. Contrary to these pleading posts, CBI engineers are not "problem solvers" and they are DEFINITELY not at "a whole different level" lmao. They are generally overpaid and clueless. It makes for a very amusing workplace though.

Engineers are problem solvers they are not clerks. Maybe it is the quality of engineers CB&I hires. I know that CB&I will hire anyone and call them a engineer.

If you clerks did not make the system so complicated, where it made sense, you might not have that problem. CMS is a piece of crap and document controls has ruined iDocs. They can not even create a file structure that makes sense.

CB&I needs to learn how to create a schedule where the so called engineers have time to do their jobs. When everything is a crisis you are going to have mistakes.

If you think engineers are stupid go get an engineering degree, you can not do it. We are at a whole different level than document control and paper pushers. If CB&I understood engineering you would not have that problem. All CB&I wants to do is cut corners.

Anybody could do document control if that is all they had to do!

Sounds exactly like my manager at a medical company. It is everywhere the same.

Sounds familiar. My boss is an absolute bully but the execs think she's all that. She does zero work - actually comes in late and spends an hour reading the news paper every morning - then expects her slaves to fan her with adulation all day. Just another reason why the company is doomed.

Sounds like the Document Control Manager in Houston to me. She thinks she is hot stuff! $20 dollar an hour document controls people tell $50+ hour engineers what to do instead of supporting them.

Not just at CB&I.

Happening EVERYWHERE, especially since 2017. Spend a few mins reading "Latest Posts" for an eye opener.
