If someone told me "I don't know. I went to business school", I'd then ask "So why are you managing programmers, shouldn't you be managing business people?"
But all joking aside, I think there are few MBAs so dense as the one portrayed in this article. Sadly, I'll probably be proven wrong...
- stephenbez 2y agoSomehow software engineers can be as dense as the MBA in the example. I had a manager who used to be a dev. He remarked that a certain teammate is really productive and gets so much done. I asked how he knew and he said that when the teammate is on call he is able to close a large number of tickets. I showed him that the teammate just closed all the tickets as “self resolved” or “can’t reproduce”.
- em-bee 2y agoi am missing the real punchline. did the manager accept the explanation and change his view?
