Bewertungen

Vielen Dank für die sehr gute Bewertung! Was auffällt, ist natürlich, dass du bei Vorgesetztenverhalten "nur" drei Sterne vergeben hast. Da würde mich natürlich brennend interessieren, welche Punkte dir da im Einzelnen nicht so zusagen bzw. zu einer Minderung führen. Wenn du dafür demnächst mal Zeit hast, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn du dazu etwas kommentieren würdest!
Ich freue mich natürlich trotzdem über die insgesamt sehr positive Bewertung und dass es noch was zu verbessern gilt, nehme ich mir zu Herzen! Daher lasse mich ruhig wissen (auch anonym), welche Verbesserungen du dir im Einzelnen wünschst! Es gibt auch noch den Kommentarkasten in der Küche - falls du dich nicht im Detail auf Kununu äußern möchtest.
Dankesehr!

Wow! Thank you so much for your appreciation! I think the SOFHA-Team deserves it, and I am grateful myself for having such friendly, supportive and cooperative colleagues around me as well!

Thank you very much for your feedback and the constructive comments to which I would like to reply directly:
1) I appreciate your noticing of the open communication to and from management.
2) Regular pay raise: Was actually implemented in 2019 and done every year to cover at least the inflation rate of the past year, but maybe this comment relates to another weaker point I must admit which was mentioned under
3) better evaluation and finding joint agreements to personal achievements. I totally agree that this area indeed is a a weak point, because I find it rather difficult to define professional goals for each member which need to be in alignment with the company goals and which need to be measurable objectively and fair. Nevertheless this area has a high priority on my to-do list for 2024. I hope that we will get to a transparent and understandable evaluation system which suits all team members without too many attempts.
Work PCs for home office: Every request was answered positively and every wish could be satisfied as far as I remember.
Thank you again for your comments and proposals!

Thank you very much for mentioning the administration team and the supportive approach towards everyone. Every member decided for her/him personally that everyone matters, that they want to do more than just "a good job". I do fully agree to your comment and I am happy that you mentioned it explicitly. Their engagement embraces everyone and shows their professional skills and experience, too.

I consider almost everyone in the SOFHA team as self-confident enough to address the above complaints directly with me, and actually I have heard some of the critics before from one person only. One member representing 2% of the team will not turn the corporate governance and policies upside down. This is called responsible leadership.
Every opinion and every idea matters, and those suggestions which made a lot of sense to management were picked up and initiated several changes since 2019. Management is open to constructive ideas for further improvements, but those suggestions need to prove that they are good for the whole team, and not only for one person's ego.

Modern code: We have been too successful in delivering products to the market to throw away the code completely with every second or third year starting from scratch. The decision on the risk to take is mostly done by several members in management, and the OEM customer, too, and knowledgeable software architects would know that there are limits if you need to consider providing maintenance services for several years after product shipment as well.

Dirty walls and stains? Mhm, okay, I have heard of more severe issues at work places but I admit that freshly renovated rooms are nice. The last big renovation took place in 2019 so next year we need to do it again.

PCs are always turned on? Admitted! Otherwise the team could not work remotely during the pandemic.

Throwing away paper? We are stakeholders in the digital printing industry, and lots of print jobs actually need to be printed during testing.

Giving advice how to abuse the company's relocation support!? No comment on that one.

We are hiring to back-up the team in dealing with the challenges to come, and the whole team will continue giving support of any kind to our newcomers, as we always did, because we know how important every single member is for the prosperous well being of all. So, be assured that you are very welcomed!

My impression is that someone strongly wants to hurt my feelings, which is a little unfair, but not telling the truth and aggressively harming the whole team is another story, and therefore needs to be addressed.

Good advice is very welcome, constructive criticism, too, but peeing on everyone's shoes when no one watches is not hero-like at all.

Thank you for reading, and I am wishing you all the best for your professional career! Take care!
