'Nother take on Managers:
It's the new society/morality/feel good policy! Children have all been raised and educated with the basic attitude that "everyone's a star"! So once all these VIP's graduate from high school or college, and go to get a job, there's no way that they can be given a job as "pencil pointer and gofer". So, obviously, they need to be "manager in charge of drafting technology refurbishment" and "retrieval expert".

Just keep thinking about the Marine quote in re their sabers "Earned, never given." Too bad so many people can't understand that respect and credibility are in the same category.

Paul,

The plethora of MBAs (Mind Blowing Ar...s) had to find employment somewhere.
Bosses get pay packets commensurate with the number of bodies they manage. MBAs want money. MBAs can only be paid high rates if they have the title "manager" or "executive'.

Engineers get screwed over for money

It wasn't like this 20 years ago. WTF happened, yuppies?
