I wish that were true - the least amount of damage, I mean. I think
they do more damage. I had a tech lead that most people thought was a
project manager because he didn't know anything technical. I made the
mistake of laughing at one of his stupid ideas. He was quite offended,
and 3 days later I was notified that I was no longer necessary. A month
after I left, their systems were experiencing severe outages, and people
were saying "That would have never happened if George was still here."

What does that tell you if your project is ahead of schedule and under
