Managers & Engineers

Manager Vs Engineer has always been a controversial thing. If you ask me for the reason of who ever we are, never understood a thing called balance. Sometime ago people in corporates figured out that placing themselves in a managerial ladder would give them lot of freedom, command among other things which an average mind would fall for. Now, with this trend set in place and practiced for some time now its all mangers where ever you go. Any mid sized tech company these days would have more number of managers than engineers who actually implement things. I think this is one dangerous path to traverse for several reasons(Not listed here!).
Instead things can be structured to be simple, lean and mean. After all any end customer would never ever worry about "How many managers took part in this product". Its only "This light burns" or "This light is stupid".
