As someone from Amazon who joined OCI - I am shocked at the sycophancy culture and cronyism in OCI. Clay handles titles and promotions to his cronies like a king keeping his cronies in positions of power. Ofcourse not all are like that but some examples are quite shocking. So I decided to pen couple of terrible rhymes for my fellow ex Amazonians to sing before annual reviews and hope the supreme leader doles out some favors! Please imagine the rhyme and sing it. Yes this is terrible plagarism! 1. Twinke Twinkle Little Star ⭐️ Clay is my super star Up above my org chart so high Like a diamond in the sky. (Keep repeating) 2. Clay had two little minions, little minions, little minions Clay had two little minions and they were SM and NF Everywhere Clay went, Clay went, Clay went The minions were sure to go!
Agree - I don’t have networking skills of a bank teller or a customer service rep to become a tech pm director in 2-3 years straight. I really don’t have that much networking skills - maybe I can program across 7 layers of real networks but not at this level!
Been there done that and got the heck out of there. That place is for lifers and hoes who have perfected the art of blowing u know what to get promoted to next level every few months. That said these people know who and what they are doing and are totally okay with it day in and day out.
OP, acting butthurt and writing clumsy rhymes won't get you anywhere. If you genuinely feel like there's no hope for you at OCI, just leave politely.
Agree. It’s just that I have to deal with some of these political idiots at work and that’s driving me crazy!
That sucks. You'll feel better if you start taking calls from recruiters.
When you identify the culture of the company or the business unit is going downhill best thing to do is move on to save your sanity

So why are you mad? Did he do something to you? You didn’t get a promotion?
Looks like you are one of the cronies / minions who got promoted by networking?
If you are just mad at people who do well because of networking, maybe you would do well for yourself to study them and learn. Being a smart engineer is only one metric.
