    ClientCo currently has a ratio of approximately 1 manager per 2.5 developers - wow!

    The other way around here.

      Are we talking actual people who manage or people who call them self managers?

        That's because, generally, you developers are f***ing hopeless and require your hands held every step of the f***ing way.

        It's pretty time consuming for us managers to have to listen to developers cry/whine/blubber about your jobs being outsourced, how you can't get a woman to sleep with you (despite your perceived high income) and how the other contractor that came in before you "Isn't very good".

        Write some f***ing code, make sure it's half decent and hand it over to your manager to allow it to move out of fantasy land and into the rest of the end to end process (when it will doubtless come back to you to be re-written, cause it's crap).

        if you need any further assistance, please feel free to ask a manager
        When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

          no more than half decent though; must keep testers in work!

            Those who actually manage account for about 30%. But they all pick up approx. 70k nonetheless.

              Insur, when you get a hard on, do you call it an insurrection?

                  Ouch - now that's some serious developer dislike.

                    Management are all permi - Not a bad salary IMO. Lost count the number of times I've heard: "Can't answer that question I'm afraid, as its technical"

                    How strange - a technical question in a technology company!
