- Excessive layers of management result in less than effective communications and excessive meetings/e-mails just to tackle small technical challenges/issues. - As DoD budgets continue to shrink, mid and upper level managers get excessively and unnecessarily involved in low-level technical efforts (micromanagement)...in attempts to justify their existence, leaving technical folks feeling uncreative and disenfranchised. - Amount of time spent engineering equals 10 - 20 % while amount of time writing Powerpoint presentations for management or technical "how to" documents is 80 - 90 %. - Minimum training opportunities, unless you're in the inner circle.
