Worst job I've ever worked in - Engineer AusNet Employee Review

- Micromanagement of staff but strangely no actual leadership - Worst Manager I've ever had. As an anecdote, there was an engagement survey. Turns out about 20% of the team wasn't engaged, about 40% was on the fence (so basically have an updated resume but haven't started interviewing with other companies), and 40% was engaged. Now, while presenting the results he (the manager) actually tried to identify people and lecture people of "how good they have it". - Don't actually do any engineering or it's all about managing data and systems. They hire engineers but it's really about vendor management. The engineers rarely actually know what they are doing. They're just hoping the vendors do and correct it before submitting an everything's ok report. - They complain about how tight the budget is, but waste so much money doing unnecessary work, do it way too often and barely meeting obligations. - The company is overstaffed by about 60%. Because there is so much overlap between so many roles. - "Agile", if you know, you know how bad it is. If you don't, it's basically a micromanagement tool. It's so inefficient they allow 20% of your time to the admin of managing the system. - It's a shame you just get stuck with whoever it is managing your energy infrastructure to your home. After seeing it first hand, I'd move if I was in any area managed by Ausnet.
