Most of the companies I have worked for don't seem to realize that their business is riding on an IT backbone and if there is no IT, it won't go very well. Last company the CEO decided he wanted to see what the grunts do. He ventured out of his million dollar + home to pay us IT folk a visit. He does this in the shortest way possible - 1 hr time slots for two groups to give a presentation. UNIX and SAP are together as SAP was running on the UNIX boxes. The whole time my manager was giving a presentation, he was picking his fingernails, looking anywhere but the powerpoint slides, etc. Later he expected everyone in the company to pay attention to his boring poo poo about boring poo poo. I'd say about 85% of management in most corporations are not needed. I hate that my job is being threatened while they are hiring more project managers and other managers for some reason. When you lay everyone off, who will the managers manage?

I just love that most HR departments do not have a career path set up for anything but management. I don't want to be a manager. I don't want to be forced in that path, yet when I ask HR for a non-managerial IT path they look at me like I just stabbed them and their baby.
