This is how an engineer feels when surrounded by marketing people.

One of my better colleagues in the company are the Marketing guys... They are on the opposite side of "reality", yes. But that is their job... Diversity is a real strength in the organization. It is healthy...

However, most of my fellow engineers hate a particular group of people. There is a particular joke about who and why there are but that is too gross to be stated here....

Well, I still respect and acknowledge role playing, but not to the point of stealing credit from some people who truly deserves it.....

Marketing sales product, kahit basura kayang ibenta kung maganda presentation.

Right on bro... I have a lot of respect for our Marketing guys who walk the talk... Selling 25 year old products way past their prime, and earning millions of bucks for the company....

Our templates in Operations and Technical Support may have been mothballed, but we moved heaven and earth to bring them back online to be able to ship the products...

That was why when he said that "our hard work during the past year is paying for all of the booze tonight", everyone was cheerfully applauding him..... 😁😤

99% of the things I've bought are because of good marketing efforts.

Yup! Impulse buyer din ako, napapabili kahit hindi ko need at mapupunta lan ng storage hanga makalimutan na meron na akong nabili, at mapapabili ulit.

I'm interpreting this as EQAddict being in a high rank profile, and is quite an asset to his company on the marketing front.

If that's so, awesome sauce hehe.

Seems that there aren't much engineers here.

I feel for the engineer. I used to be in marketing and I left because I didn't like pushing products that I had to lie or tell half-truths about.

You have one here bro.

And again,- I support our Marketing guys as they are the ones who are into demand-creation or creating a need for the product or would-be product. It is an enabling function that moves the entire organization for as long as it is well coordinated and that there are no false expectations from both the customer and the company.

It's a perpetual tug-of-war between design (engineering) and Marketing,- alright,- but then again,- you have to be riding along the battlefront, so that you do not lose your competitive edge. Anything outside of that is mediocre, at best.

It is a love-hate relationship.

Yes, we support,- but the Marketing guys have to deliver. Else, they're marked men in the company.

meron naman good marketing at profit marketing..


sometimes customers don't know what they need (sometimes they did not know it is already available), this is now the function of a marketing, to introduce a product that the customer need.


sa profit marketing, kayo na ang mag-isip kung anong product ang nabili nyo na walang wenta or hindi maximized.

It sounds like you’ve got a healthy perspective — different functions see the world differently, and that diversity can absolutely strengthen a company. Marketing and engineering often operate with different lenses, but both are necessary. The real issue isn’t role differences — it’s respect and fairness. Jokes that cross into hostility or situations where credit isn’t given where it’s due can quietly damage trust and morale. Healthy collaboration works best when roles are acknowledged, contributions are transparent, and recognition is shared accurately.
