Managers mark their value by how many meetings they attend. If their calendar is booked all the time (even with pointless meetings) it's because they are valuable. Developers mark their value by what they create. Unfortunately people tend to think everyone is like them. In this example, managers tend to think since their value is through constant collaboration, they think everyone is valued in the same metric.
