Oh, that's easy.
The prevailing wisdom around here is that management is always, without fail, a bad thing.
Management is either bad because they get in the way by doing anything, or, when a project goes sideways, management is bad because it failed at doing something.
For example, the devs involved in the BMW scandal? Well management told them what to do, so it's management's fault.
And this post? Well, it's management's fault for not stopping this guy.
- KirinDave 9y agoWell, yeah. Balancing your entire tech org around one guy is a ridiculously bad plan. What does management do if not plan and organize? But it's also this guy's fault for not being enough of a leader to avert the crisis. I'm not sure how people read my post and say, "This is a story about how Rick was good or right."
