Never worked for the government, have you? ;)

Management is where people who are too incompetent for technical work go. No one gets fired, they get moved to different departments. As a last resort, they get assigned to 'special projects' for about a year in the hopes that everyone will forget what an imbecile they are, and will be safe to move back into the management structure.

I suppose you have met all the managers in this world. you shouldn't talk like what you say are absolute truths.
