The more IT stories I hear about the more I'm convinced that no management understands what IT does.
Over the years I've come to the conclusion that good managers in general are rare and the few good ones don't go far in their careers because big companies favors backstabbing psychopaths and narcissists, just like in politics.
Even without the politics, the Peter Principle all but guarantees incompetent leaders.
I think the British TV show "the IT crowd" may be up your street.
I specified as I don't now if there's a us copy, and even if there is, I don't know what it's like.
