Recent Fortune 500 contracting experience I had: Ubuntu was to be introduced into the company. The team was 1 developer and 4 managers. When we asked for collaboration with the developer the manager kept saying "we don't do this" "it's not a supported configuration". The developer defied his direct superior and offered collaboration and as a result was removed from the project. Now the project staff was 4 managers and 0 developers. The manager claimed he was doing this to protect his developer from overwork, but really it was just about his own ego. A lot of the projects I saw there were basically 1 engineer and a couple of managers of some sort. Security manager, Project Manager, Portfolio Manager, some medium management and some other people. And then they would constantly say that they don't have resources to fix things. Well yeah, because you have 1 engineer for 10 projects, but 4 managers per project.
