> If an engineer screws up the damage is largely minimal. > If a manager screws up then serious money can be lost. You're being downvoted, which is a shame, because you're absolutely right. You can screw up much bigger when you can cause 5 engineers to screw up in addition to pissing their expensive salaries up the wall. And generally the manager will be held accountable, where the engineers will not, because they were just following orders.
