Yesterday, Suddenly we got to know that VP Engineering of my client company has been asked to leave. The reason described by one of the Board Of Directors was, As Client is looking for VP having more technical back ground in which client company is working.
It was a shock for the all of the engineering team who works with VP including me. The reason for shocking was even more intresting. Current VP was the first one under which client company was able to deliver good quality product. Before that client company was struggling since last 3 years to deliver a product upto market expectation.
Apart from responsiblity of delivering good product, current VP was also responsible for maintaining healthy envoirnment of work and prepare a team to do the work. VP has made significant improvement on these in very short duration. Infact i have also sensed those improvement in duration of 3 month only.
As i am here due to sheer intrest of VP. It would quite possible that i may also asked to leave after certain time when contract period will be over.
I have learned two lesson from this incedent:
1) Never disclose your cards to upper management unless you are not part of them.
2) Always create situation where you are needed most. As soon as you are no longer needed, you will be kicked out.
So In summary, lesson is, don't do good work unless you are not sure that you are going to get benefit of the work you have done!
That's why i hate to be in management.:)
