Possibly. One of the lessons I've learned though is that.. It's not all red tape and inefficiency. Big light bulb moment for me was realizing that users, customers, stakeholders, clients, etc, simply and validly may have different priorities and goals. That's not necessarily disfunction. We are not ants. But it's the manager's job, not sysadmin or coders, to resolve those different goals and help provide unambiguous and stable requirements to the team. This may not immediately be obvious as contributing value to a person building a server or coding a function. It certainly wasn't to me... Until it didn't happen anymore :-)
