"I guess more than half the engineers there over the last 3 years were pathetic losers"
Which begs the question is the Siemens Australia management totally incompetent in that it keeps (often at enormous cost) employing 'losers' that leave? isn't doing that gross incompetence? presumably these (mis-)managers will be fired very soon?

Example of Siemens management speak:
To those that considered Siemens such a bad company to work for and left, but seem to spend so much time on this site bitching and moaning about a company they no longer work for, here's two words of advice - move on.
Anything else just suggests you're pathetic and no loss to the company.

This thread could be for any other company. You could just replace the company name with the one I work for in the UK. And judging by the feeback I'm getting from Engineer mates in other companies it's the same there...
The boards are full of marketeers and city buisnessmen with no intention of preserving what made them good in the first place, the customer mission statements are bluster and hot air to woo the share holders and investors. They're full of (usually American) asset strippers. That move in, strip it out, take thier cake, eat it and move on.
It doesn't matter who you work for, everything but the badge on your shirt is the same, its a global cluster***k. Your skills make you the engineer and you control what you do. I can assure you all that the grass is no greener in anyone elses garden....but you could water your own.... ;)

Exactly my point... they do not deserve a sherrick of loyalty!! because if the club of "good old boys" want to get rid of YOU they will soon think or work out a way to do so... Just look at the previous service managers in victoria:- LR, DS, MW... Need I say more!

Apparently, my attempt to temporarily re-locate to Australia as a Siemens engineer was not taken in the humourous spirit in which it was intended. Perhaps it is a language issue given that Americans and Australians are two people separated by a common language.

We are just showing some engineer comradery (you know? like that loyalty type thing Siemens expects but doesn't earn?) anyway, any poor guy thinking of going off to Australia and living the dream with Siemens needs putting right early, because he's just heading a few thousand miles nearer hell!

I would love to work for Siemens in Australia. Do they pay relocation costs from the States? You guys there sound like a real fun bunch and I just love the sarcasm and cynicism that you display here. The way I look at it is that Siemens would pay for me to go to Australia, I would work for them for 6-12 months, get to see much of your beautiful country, and then return back to the States. To me it's a win-win situation. I get a nice long vacation in Australia as a part time tourist and Siemens gets the kind of temporary-permanent employee that seems to be the standard there.

But DX is and will always be the shit hole that it is today!!! they do not give a shit about any of there staff, it is and will always be the exclusive club of the ex-Bayer / Chiron group.

Ah, but this is why it is so important to look after the engineering "experience" and NURTURE it!!! Not just having lab people who think they are engineers -out there fixing instruments by throwing copious amounts of parts at the problem till somehow they fix it! AT the end of the day that is what you get when the company is run by sales!! Hardly any good techs left now, I feel for the good few that are left , from what I here the culture stinks to high heaven with no regard for their technical people! I would not and would never recommend working for DX Australia ever again! The revolving door will always keep revolving when morons are in charge!

either way, customer can't wait until late for a new bulb as Siemens engineer won't turn up until overtime starts. Buys bulb from Roche and realises that he has been kept in the dim light for years by Siemens.

How long does it take?
Step 1 - have a meeting.
Step 2 - assign engineers
Step 3 - send out job to engineer
Step 4 - find they are not trained on light bulb replacement
Step 5 - find another engineer that is
Step 6 - first engineer looks at the light bulb and thinks it is an apps problem
Step 7 - customer gets pissed at the stuffing around and buys another companies light bulb (which they find is cheaper in the end)

REALLY! not selling more Haematology equipment. Haem/Coag has always been the poor cousin. They were always an Immuno Chem company as far back as ADC. Just look at the fools running the Dx, mostly from Immuno apps background.
That may change now they have been forcefully integrated into Medical. There a few that should be nervous as hell IMO.
