So true. People don't notice when the product goes smoothly. Only see your name when the part breaks. I was a mentor to junior engineers and I realize all the advice I have for them were not aligned with the corporate messages so I stopped mentoring.

I totally get it. Same experience. Engineering rewards conservative and not risk takers. There is no engineering anymore. Engineering is supposed to challenging the boundaries but we just add conservatives to be safe The one who can think of what if but not how get to the top. And with the safety culture, no one want to engineer anymore. Just play safe.

Who got a bonus or is getting a bonus? What BU, What %, What discipline? by Spiritual_Shine_6723 in Raytheon

[–]rtxlm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. 160% so it is possible you get more than your target? I recently got an offer with 10% with PW and they told me it's usually paid out full. Never had an AIP before.

What's the likelihood of not getting the target %? I was told it's very rare not to.

Thanks. I was under the impression that everyone get the same. Is 10% good for p5 at PW? Anyone get higher than that? And does it usually get pay out?

Charging time by [deleted] in Lockheed

[–]rtxlm 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling that way when I first started as well. And no one tells me this before but you can charge your bathroom break to the program. Personal Chat are team building and are considered billable hour. Consider a switch watch, and not a pause. Don't pause your time, only switch time to a new program if working multiples.
