I completely agreed with hiren rana. I also heard this through my internship at hospital dealing with medical instruments such as calibrating, perform testing and problem solving on devices. I was surprised by knowing that there are places where manager doesn’t know what his/her employees job and need which makes communication worse. I think it is very difficult to work in that environment where manager and employees speak different languages. At my internship, manager knows employees need, and how long should take to finish project since he has been through everything and have technical knowledge. if employees get stuck, they just simply asked him which makes easier for employees to work and they also can explain it in better manner. I would like to work as an engineer at least 3-4 years to be familiar with environment before any managing position because I believe in quality work rather than just finishing project and not knowing what others are doing under me.
