Good demonstration of Peter principle - Anonymous employee AMD Employee Review

The Peter Principle is a belief that, in an organization where promotion is based on achievement, success, and merit, that organization's members will eventually be promoted beyond their level of ability Boy is this true for AMD's "management". A tech company that's run like an automotive shop floor. The idiot "managers" like to feel important and always thump their "authority" at every opportunity. Read review from Feb 4. If you stick around for long enough at AMD, survive a few layoffs, and wait out all the people with potential who leave for better jobs, you'll become management, and you'll have your own crop of rejects to boss around. AMD is a second rate company, because they hire and promote second rate people. This is especially true in psuedo-technical departments (software QA). Software QA has no scientific process, it's as if the whole company runs on "compile and run" testing methodology that college kids use in CS 101 when learning to program. The intranet site is crap, all the software tools, bug tracking system are 10 years old.
