Business and Team Leader

For a Director and VP over a large engineering department, I was expected to have mastery skills driving a CAD station, PLC programming, and electrical design and do ground level design work. During the interview I explained the difference in skillset requirements between a line engineer, manager, director, and VP. While I had the skills, I was not current in them from a practice perspective. By the end of the interview the large interview team realized they spec'd the job out incorrectly. They did not realize that Director and above is the person orchestrating, driving technology, delegating, and driving strategic direction. They thought that was the marketing person's job. (again, incorrect) This company respecified the position to an engineering supervisor and lowered the pay to a ridiculously low number and used an internal engineer to do the job. Last I checked, they are failing miserably.

Being told I need a degree to work in a field that I've volunteered in with proven track record for over 20 years.

And having to agree to be respectful of a dude calling himself a chick but they don't have to respect me or my beliefs of the Bible and scientific facts.
