Company reviews and salary reviews of Symantec Corporation

i feel the engineer in context here, should thrive harder to know what all it takes to becomes a manager, rather than focussing what a manager is taking>>>>> that attitude will change his perspective as well as his angle of perception on a situation. It will make his life easier and his efforts purposeful......

Thanks Swapna, Mohan and Srinivas for your replies.

I think you got me wrong, talentequity.in is an employee conversation portal, which aggregates employee opinions about their workplaces.

My idea of sharing this excerpt from the symantec review was to share from our data with the users here and work constructively towards building a positive and vibrant work atmosphere.

we need to address these trigger points at all levels, because if not addressed at the right time, then it will lead to frustration.

In the hierarchy, manager has a specific position.  He is responsible for getting the work done.  He gets the credit for the work done by his subordinates/team members.  Sometimes, he may get scoldings from his higher ups for the work turned out his team.  He is being paid for the responsibility he is shouldering.  There are different management styles.  Some managers like to do work along with team members.  Some stick to their rooms and coordinate the work from there itself. Blame game is not correct.  One must understand the reality, the positions, their responsibilities.  

Perhaps your friend is a young engineer, who is frustated about his work. It takes lot of efforts to become a manager (Management team) and more efforts to remain successfull there . Between an Engineer and Manager -competencies levels are different .Pls note , I am comparing a technically sound engineer & a manager who leads by example . We still find lot of these guys , though they are few in number .
If your friend is not happy working in that company, he should look for someother oppurtunity .There is no point is spreading his frustation around .He cannot blame the company -he needs to responsible for all his good & bad things in his life .After all its his life!
