wtf? (Score 1)

well, from my perspective, they(managers) have had to deal with(and deal out) back-stabbing to rise to their present position, so why expect them to rise above their petty stupidities? Think a bit: programmers pretty much realize and accept when they have been in the presence of someone who is better than they are, but managers are a completely different species. There is no comradery in the corporate world, only the constant waiting and manuvering, until you are replaced by someone else who has better connections. Managers lose any trace of humanity soon after they enter the ranks of their peers(take my own brother for instance, like a breathing automatron for all the personal emotions he has left). All we(programmers) can do is help each other out, create personal networks of other programmers, and if there is a job opening that one of us knows about, get it out where the rest can see. Screw the managers, they are used to it by now . . .
