Managing a development team does not necessarily means the manager should know the programming. Mostly Sr. Management is looking for "business acumen ship" from the Manager. I have noticed companies doing this. very often.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of avid_diver01 Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 12:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Management Question Please help me understand my situation. I have been a mainframe Cobol and CICS programmer since 1985 and then Genran MVS mapper since 1990 and had been a Gentran MVS administrator along the way. Now, I am not allowed to manage EDI group but instead Sr. Manager hired a contractor who does not know mainframe and Gentran at all. I have never been in this situation in which I know a lot more (EDI system and process as well as business process) than the person I report to. So, my question is: Is it common practice for a knowledgeable employee to report to a non- knowledgeable contractor? Thank you.
