OK, this is bullshit. I have worked for a lot of managers and frankly, almost all of them worked hard and tried to do the right thing. Managers are people too and we need them because they ensure that the right work is done, and that the team is solving problems customers, and the organization care about.

You have explained that managers are in fact people and what value you think engineering managers provide to an organization.

You have not addressed the commenter’s assertion that >= 14% of managers do nothing. You may have even bolstered their point by saying “almost all of [the managers you have worked with] work hard.” I think it’s fair to consider 84% to be reasonably in the bounds of “almost all.”

So is it bullshit?
