The current environment heavily favors corporate politics over actual technical capability. Career growth is entirely dependent on "managing upward" and catering to leadership. True expertise, experience and knowledge are completely undervalued.
This political culture has led to highly visible, questionable career tracks. Individuals with zero foundational background or technical knowledge have been placed into higher roles purely due to management favoritism. Because they lack the baseline expertise to lead effectively, they rely entirely on draining information from subordinates just to justify positions they are unqualified for.
Internal technical feedback regarding raw material quality is routinely bypassed to maintain external convenience. When qualified teams flag serious operational risks, leadership prioritises short-term commercial relationships. This directly causes avoidable issues on the ground, drives up unnecessary expenditures and severely disrupts production efficiency.
