I got my market adjustment number today, not very satisfying, and it’s partly related to last year’s performance review. I don’t think I am doing exceptionally well and I got myself exposed to some political turmoils in the project, so the upcoming is kinda expectable. Even though the manager promise another adjustment in 3 months time if I am up to his expectation, I am not too warm about this carrot. 3 months time is not very long, I think I can keep my head down and just do my work. I kinda feel bad that when I work really hard and got good review, nothing happened due to the bad economy. The credits vanished got after walking into one bomb and another stupidly. I have to learn the lesson and try to avoid making the same mistake again. We’ll see what is going to happen in 3 months, that would be more a proof for myself, just like finishing the master degree, rather than for the compensation.

coperate culture
This afternoon when I had a meeting with the consultants from Versity about testbench architecture in the upcoming project, the consultant make a interesting comment about his observation in PMC’s coperate culture. He pointed out that the company is quite conservative in term of adopting new methodology and trying out new things, and I totally agree with him. For many times, I got turned down on suggesting the use of new cutting-edge cool development tools and was told to stick with the old proven way. The company is like a dinosaur, avoiding risk by ignoring the potentials coming with the risk. No wonder the we are slowing losing market shares in Telecom devices, and got slaughtered in the new market section where quick innovation is the key to success. Ok… enough whimming, gota go back to my M.Eng work, so I can escape from this boring company.
