WPP ET - IT Manager WPP Employee Review

Where to begin... I witnessed first-hand the staggering incompetence within much of the IT (ET) department. It’s no exaggeration to say that many people seemed utterly unaware of how to perform their own roles. Everyone appeared to be winging it, hoping not to be exposed. The real issue, however, was that most were never found out, and the incompetence persisted indefinitely. What’s worse, some of the least competent individuals excelled at presenting a facade of capability to senior leadership. This strategy worked remarkably well for them, leading to promotions and new opportunities — utterly disgraceful. Achieving any meaningful progress was rare. Asking a question often resulted in a frustrating game of hot potato: you’d be passed from one person to another, none of whom had answers or solutions. The result was pure disorganisation and chaos. If Guinness did incompetence, this would be it.
