Good, some of these companies are run by socially connected technical morons who hire a bunch of their college buddies as 'leaders'.
These people need to be exposed.
Years ago, a guy I know was asked by management to spec out an email system that had no limits on the size of file attachments. He asked why and was told that 'leadership will have no limits on their authority... none whatsoever'.
When he produced the quote, leadership was in shock. The price was enormous. They told him they could not afford to spend that much money on a mail system, and he said, "Well, I guess there will have to be limits then."
I have worked for a boss like that but it really wasn't bad. He knew what he wanted, and left us alone to do our jobs. No micromanagement from middle managers, was very nice.
