I’m looking to the experienced managers out there-have you ever been on a job where your manager(vp, director, etc.) is non-technical in nature? My current manager is and it’s starting to put me in a more and more precarious position-I am gettin pressure from him to do a lot of things that really tend to circumvent much of the development process. It’s killing my relationships with many cross team managers, it’s killing the team I manage because they are being pulled in so many different directions and it’s killing me because I’m having to pull them in these directions as well as having to do things (directly at his bidding) that are really “dirty pool”-creating ‘clandestine’ projects which have little involvement from other parts of theteam, pushing the team to create projects in half the time they need, so what we come up with is a half-baked mess, it goes on and on. For those of you who have been here-what worked in working through a situation such as this?
