Most people don't realize Dilbert isn't an exaggeration until they join the workforce.
When I was in my last job, reading Dilbert almost felt like it was happening to me. Dark sarcasm..
This comes across to me as more of a rant, than a constructive exit description from a company. When hiring new candidates, and doing background checks alarm bells would go off if I saw people whining about their previous jobs in a blog post. Be professional, accept that some jobs are shit, and find a new one. This post will do you no favours in the future.
If the job involves this tool, I won't even apply.
(Yes, there are some other bad tools as well)
It's not a question of scale, it's a question of management. Companies like Samsung, others and etc are managed by idiots. Pure and simple. Suit wearing, non-technical morons. Congratulations on your new job, exercise, fresh air and freshly picked berries and vegetables. Sounds pretty decent compared to sitting in front of a screen slaving for knock-off phones with shitty vendored junk. Seeing the company you work fo…
I'm also curious why smart people become idiots when they're promoted.
Come on. Managing is hard and definitely looks different depending on your position. To make it even more "funny" I can tell you that "employees are idiots" is a frequent manager's rant too.

No, share holders care about share prices. Which in big part in large companies comes from existing products/services + incremental work. Big leaps come from acquisitions. You need managers to keep the status quo going. Come in, run affairs as usual and leave.
This was 10 months ago. So how has it worked out?
I am doing startup, but actually I do not want to describe it here now, maybe I will do it later :)
And what do you miss from your enterprisy days?

Every time (~5/month) I hear the "managers are idiots" rant I start to wonder, how is it possible that all the smart people: 1. aren't managers. 2. aren't able to convince the "idiots".

Most smart people aren't.
