Here are my 2 cents, since i am involved in both management and programming. Developers and programmers are often right about their opinions. BUT, that opinion is not always the output that company wants. Here is a simple example; - Company wants to get rid of one of their products. (not enough sales, a new better product is planned, etc. ) - Dev lead wants to have extra resource for his/her team because of deadlines etc. - It gets rejected - Dev lead warns the company that releases will be delayed and customers will not be happy (true) - Manager doesn't do anything about it because product's future is already decided. - Dev lead is not happy about this decision. It is kind of hard to satisfy both management and employees at the same time but that is the nature of it.
