In that case it is a culture of low salaries and tech being a support function. Governments aren't paying market salaries for tech and are not willing to have highly technical people in many leadership roles.
- pc86 5y agoMany governments aren't willing to have highly technical people in any leadership roles. I've worked with government IT departments before where 100% of management (not an exaggeration) was non-technical, as in had never been a developer, sys admin, or any type of engineer. From the front line managers the whole way up to the "CIO."
- MattGaiser 5y agoOh I get it. I was a government dev too and sometimes (I went through 3 managers in a year once) we had non-technical management too.
