Interesting industry but politics, politic, POLITICS - Operations Itron Employee Review

Management can depend where you work. Either managers are great and supportive or terrible, bullies. Someone else from operations wrote about SOP and SOE and that was on point: if they can’t find someone to blame and flame in front of everyone, they will blame process, which has lots of gaps. Some middle managers are all about CYA and it can feel like your vying for the teacher’s pet in high school: favoritism can be a problem. I have talked with co-workers who were reduced to tears by their micromanaging and overbearing managers.
