I need to learn how not to be the "Honest Cherry Bomb" with my !@#$$% managers!.
Non-technical customers are the norm and to be expected, but non-technical managers are just infuriating.
I probably will get fired but I am ticked that my management:

• under schedules
• mico-manages
• under-staffs
• Sacrifices quality for schedule

My company directs technically uninclined people into management.
I have worked for the company for 16 years.
My manager has worked for the company for 3 years and spent those years as a CM specialist and Tester.
Yet this guy is responsible for planning the project and tasking developers.
It seems that his performance is totally based on schedule or the ability for our team to meet his plan.
70 hour work weeks - only for developers, managers need thier rest.

No time to Unit Test - no problem.
No Integration or System Testing - no problem.
Nothing works - well thats due to the development teams incompetence.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
