We have a management "crisis" at work of sorts and I think this is common across multiple industries. The best managers are the ones that have actually done the work of the engineers they manage, really understand the difficulties/details and tethered to reality when it comes to giving out deadline commits and such. When they "cross appoint" people who have been managers for a while but with no relevant experience to the group they are assigned to manage, it really creates a lot of chaos and inefficiency. Some people pick things up quickly but many don't. Sadly, given how few engineers want to be managers (or can be good at managing if given the opportunity), things get really messy. The other problem that is there is the enormous knowledge gap that gets created when experienced people quit or move and someone gets to pick up the pieces and just get back to the previous normalcy. I have been really pushing my immediate management to address these fundamental issues and it's crazy how hard it is to get upper management to understand these things.

The guys I manage act like they are 4 year olds no matter if they are 66 or 30.There is a management shortage because no one wants the underpaid, overrated, babysitting gig. Everyone and thier brother bitches about shitty managers but they tend to be the biggest pain in the ass, know-it-all, bitch about everything but bring zero solutions, miserable pricks. Want to take the fast lane to blowing your fucking brains out, "manage" middle aged employees!

I remodeled the office for the auto shop I worked at. I was building counters and covering them with Formica. He wanted a down and dirty printer holder stuck off the side of one of the counters. I told him it would take an extra day, he said now, I said I want it nice, he said NOW!. I built it out of unfinished MDF and hung it there. I used a black Sharpie and wrote on the inside face where he could see it from his chair- There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution!!This was in late 2001. It was supposed to be a 2 year stopgap. They're still using it!
