How is management in Siemens
5
I had two interviews this week and one screening call but I still don't feel confident that i will reach the next round. I have 20 years experience working with infrastructure (physical hardware) but have a AWS cloud practitioner Certification. The jobs seem more based on Workflow, process, new technologies. Yes, I can do those things but i fear my experience in those areas are not as prominent than another person. I feel stuck in a place I want to transition out of. How do i break out?
I’m currently navigating my first major workplace mistake, and my brain is telling me to pack my bags and disappear. I accidentally sent an internal draft to a client group, and even though it was resolved in an hour, I feel like I’ve permanently ruined my reputation here. Everyone keeps telling me it happens to everyone, but the anxiety of waiting for the fallout is making it impossible to sleep. How do you bounce back?
I’m currently surviving day 45 of a 60-day PIP, and the psychological warfare of this process is worse than the actual threat of being fired. I’ve hit every single arbitrary metric they set for me so far, but my manager still treats me like a stranger and documents every casual Slack message I send. It’s completely obvious that the plan isn't meant to rehabilitate me, it’s just a legal shield for HR to clear the desk. If you actually managed to beat a PIP, did you stay at the company or just use the time to find a clean exit?
It’s a HUGEEEEE company, so depending on the business unit and location you will meet amazing managers or pretty 💩 ones. Mobility and Healthineers are usually better than Industry and Energy.
I found my management team to be very cold and non supportive in my role.
It is awful, unless you are German. The company highly discriminates.
