Horrible middle management - Senior Software Engineer Faire Employee Review

- Middle managers often bully employees into submission. Perhaps bullying is acceptable at other local Kitchener-Waterloo companies, so managers bring it with them to Faire. - Managers have way too much power in the organization. The manager always has the last word in rating, regardless of how good the peer feedback is in perf reviews. The manager also has too much power in deciding what someone gets to work on. So if the manager doesn't like someone, they can and do often screw over the rank-file employees. - People ops (HR) works for managers. So bringing up manager issues to people-ops does not do anything.
