IT Managers Are Aloof Says Psychologist and Your Co-Workers
dcblogs writes "IT managers see themselves as 'reigning supreme,' in an organization, and are seen by non-IT workers as difficult to get along with, says organizational psychologist Billie Blair. If IT managers changed their ways, they could have a major impact in an organization. 'So much of their life is hidden under a bushel because they don't discuss things, they don't divulge what they know, and the innovation that comes from that process doesn't happen, therefore, in the organization,' says Blair."
"Aloof" in this case is a euphemism meaning, "obedient, emotionally-stunted lapdoggies who got whatever they wanted and were never subject to discipline as kids, and think they can play with their subordinates like they played alone with their G.I. Joes."
When baby doesn't want to share his knowledge and is difficult with people, then he should not be allowed to supervise others and even the most ignorant of HR screeners should have prevented this.
