Not really an incident but I am amazed at how many groups of senior tech managers and engineers navigate from organization to organization together!
For example, a tech VP joins a new company and within a year many of the senior positions are occupied by the VP’s previous coworkers. They give each other promotions and eventually either get outmaneuvered by another similar group of people or simply choose to move on to the next place to do it all over again.
I had no idea such groups existed, until I was invited into one. Now that I’m aware I’ve seen the same pattern happening at pretty much every place that I’ve worked at since.
I’m someone in that group. My last 2 jobs have been following a former manager. Now about 70% of the engineering department are from previous companies
Yeah the department i worked for before my current job got taken over by one of these. Incompetent dude got invited in and took over the place, then hired the only guy he ever met who could tolerate him (bootlicker man) and uh… stuck around for a few years before suddenly and inexplicably quitting. I’m guessing it was sexual harassment allegations but that’s just me being cynical. Bootlicker man was gone about a month later.

There’s some collective bargaining in that, though. “You lose this person, you lose all of these persons”.

What do you think are the biggest disadvantages of doing this? Does your job mostly depends on the boss liking you?

As long as the abuse unethical companies, I truly don’t care. Good for them. Just don’t do this at places that make a difference
