It depends whether the managers are technically competent and up to date. If neither: then I'd recommend looking for another job as a matter of priority. Managers who get their knowledge from the teenage sons of their drinking buddies or from business magazines or, worse, IT sales people are like a manifestation of a Dilbert comic strip. If former technical guys, but not up to date, then it demands whether they even listen to the developers' input or make decisions based upon their out of date knowledge and experience. Finally, if both competent and up to date, then why haven't they been actively involved in the decision making up until now?
