IT Management sucks (self.technology)

I have been in IT Management for close to 15 years and I really don't like it anymore. Has anyone out there in Lemmy-land ever moved into a technical role after this many years?

Do you just want to bitch? Love that too!

90% of management in any job are useless because most of the them have never done or have not done the job(s) of those they manage for so long they have little to no idea how to do it . And once you get into executive positions the uselessness is even greater. Just soulless vomit spewing moronic yes-men.

I disagree I am a manger that has done the job and found myself falling into the management and I am crap. As have other technical turned managers I know. They are too seperate disciplines. Let the managers manage and the tech tech.

That said I am talking about tasking, resource and people management. The actual technical planning and strategy, is another discipline again and often where the people managers fail
