TPM for lunches in OCI!

Yes - Apart from an incompetent bank teller who got promoted to a director, i got to know that we have a (T)PM whose fulltime job for few months is to figure out and expand lunch options for on-site interviews!! Yes - i couldnt beleive it. Looks like TPMs of OCI "wine and dine" for lunch every few weeks for a "TPM sync up" and this person told the audience that partnering with restaurants for lunch interviews is her current project assignment. I got to know this from a real T-PM in my larger team! Soon we may have yet another director getting promoted for expanding Food options!

What do TPMs at Amzn do? I doubt they did anything when I was there other than create fancy reports and trouble for engineers

Oracle iluvPaxos OP May 3, 2019

Yeah buddy. I am just a T engineer. I simply code, design and do oncalls.

Are you one of those minions who got promoted by connections?
