Siemens DX Australia: "Blind leads the blind". Deadwood management. Historians writing codes, Entry Level Engineers holding team leader positions, directors who never went to school..etc. get out of the ship before it sinks!

Crap and Cream rise to the top. May you have the good fortune of having management that can recognized the difference. Happy Holidays to All!

Reshuffle,that will work!

all hail el new Capo

Yeah - the cyclist who was the most incompetant engineer and sales guy ever! Amazing how the B.S. floats to the top!

Siemens - a "Green" company - what a joke, they are bailing out of alternative energy.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike....

I hear all the chair have been shuffled in favour of the cyclist what are a surprise

Trouble brewing in NSW.

Mario brothers and cycling circus troop at it again stay tune

We not worried about facts. Just what's in the spread sheet and the power point presentation telling us how the team is doing.

Someone clearly doesn't know their facts... DR resigned and went to BC in 2003. Fired not likely... left on his own terms.

Lance Armstrong was a cyclist and also a cheat..some might do well to remember this?

Cya Niño shafted by a snake oil salesman.

Some of the most incompetent 'engineers' EVER are still here and are now the most incompetent sales and applications staff EVER = JF,PM and FG. No wonder CL followed his son JL and left he was doing too good of a job

I was just made aware of this site. I was surprised to see my initials mentioned, many thanks to those of you who remember (DS). It has been a while since July 2009. I caught up with a few of the guys, TSL, JT and MO recently, a more relaxed and happy bunch of guys you would rarely find. my time at Siemens was interesting but I can honestly say I have not worked with a more dedicated team of engineers and have made some great friends that will last a lifetime. Certainly would like to catch up with more of the past, I see RC and Bryn H have had posts in the past. Also good to see KB not afraid to put a few posts up, certanly wish you all the best as well. DS

hahahaha - says the engineer who's clueless to what first time fix means, who was so incompetent that real engineers always had to go in and clean up the wreck left in his wake, who was such a complete waste of space that when he left, the stress and workload on the remaining engineers actually went DOWN coz they didn't have to carry his sorry butt any longer. you were cheered out the door man and nobody misses you! i've never known a resignation email prompt so many cheers, smiles and hi-5s!!

That could be anyone of many TSL,MO,JT,DS??

No, the world needs more and more sales people, who cant sell, more useless business managers.. who cant sell....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! You all started working in the lab, then decided to be engineers, but realised this is too hard... then lets do some applications work..then this is also too hard, I know "lets be a business manager!" Not to worry when the big boys finally pull the pin because they have had enough, there will be no more contracts...then what? Once again the cyclists have worked it all out, we will just give it away!!!

In the UK you can replace the screwdriver, but only from one supplier we say, a crap supplier for the wrong industry that sells hugely overpriced market stall grade tools. Siemens: if someone is offering a ripoff service they can't sign up quick enough for it - feckless managers!

Its rewarding to see more 'people' have been promoted in the ivory tower (but not in Engineering / Applications)... keep up good work, the world needs more ` fluffy diagram engineers`.....

No sir you cannot replace that old broken screw driver, there is no money left in this month's budget after we have done the mandatory, system replacement of the new servers we installed last month as per "Siemens policy" because Germany says so...

The blatantly obvious and self evident point about this entire site is the anonnymity of all posts means nobody should assume they know the identity of anyone posting here.

OK mr Richardson get over it we know you didnt like being fired but get over it you never worked for Siemens

"Someone making jokes about Germans and the war....no prizes for guessing which lazy, whinging Pom ex engineer came up with that original insult. Tally ho chaps - squadron leader baldy has commenced another bombing campaign!"

know who you mean.

Miles off actually, 10552 to be a lot more precise than any geriatric Siemens product will ever manage! hoho!

;)

Surely if Siemens' management and personnel were confident they're correct, and all is truly going well, they'd feel no compunction whatsoever to even dignify the comments posted on a rumour mill site. How many other poor sods have missed this blatantly obvious and self-evident point?

Bryn Harris & Rob Calder,

Sorry you are both so soft that you can't handle the responsibilities of the adult world. I hope that your new managers have the patience to give you positive reinforcement for every little thing you accomplish, including using the toilet instead of your pants.

- Siemens HR

To anyone reading this...Get out of DX while you still can, it is literally going to tube... They are being blown away by the competition.

Hi Bryn

I beat you. After three days I packed up and left. It was easy to see how badly this place was run.
A month later...new job, better pay and much nicer management.

Weird, did you really only work their for FOUR days? And you learned all that in that short of time?

Dear Siemens manager,
Well thanks for the Kudos, but I am unfortunatly unable to accept. I left Siemens after working there for 4 Days (one of a large number of engineers who chose to leave) for a better work/life balance, (somthing that was promised by the management but never delivered). I now have a life outside work as well as a workplace that is not complicated by petty politics and micro management.
It makes for interesting reading though, my impression is that things have not changed much.
Regards
Bryn

I think the list of names needs to be a lot more than 2 considering the dozens that have baled Siemens disaster.

So is it Bryn Harris or rob Calder writing all of the negative posts on this thread?

Looks like the Apps people are being sucked into the door.

The place is a circus!!! HIGGLEDY-PI-GGLEDY....No experience whatsoever left on the ground, but thats what you get when the place is run by cyclists.

It's true. They're expecting their next child.

Another one gone in Victoria. Must be a lifestyle decision...

Who now?

Another one gone in Victoria. Must be a lifestyle decision...

All of the engineers leaving simply give HR an opportunity to show how many people they have hired. It makes the statistics look good.

I have just overhead a manager say that "all these departures will simply lead to more asians being recruited". Now, yes, I could report it to HR, but given their recent record, do you honestly think its worth it?

Apparently HR are installing one of those moving walkways across their department - engineers get their induction course at one end and exit meeting the other end.

I was there last week. they really do have a revolving door!

And another.

Another jumps ship.
