FSVO "the job"; quite a few programmers disagree with management as to
what the job is that they should be doing, and don't understand the
need for, e.g., audit trails.

That too; there are as many incompetent managers as there are
incompetent programmers.

I've had some telling me that things I had been doing for years
couldn't be done. That comes from not reading anything that they
weren't forced to.
