Good analogy. On second thought some do rise to mismanagement. Dilbert bears a
mention with the pointy haired boss.


I'm reading a novel by Francis Porretto in which the protagonist asks
his boss 'How badly to I have to screw up a project to never get
promoted to management?'

I know the feeling. Theoretically I am a manager but everyone I'm
supposed to manage has been diverted to another project and I'm happy as
a clam doing actual programming.
