Why do business analysts and project managers get higher salaries than programmers?
Management that runs a Widget Factory is easy to spot just by paying attention to the way these people talk. They are likely to be on about resources (including when referring to team members), processes, operating efficiency, uniformity, repeatability, strict control over use of resources, clear-cut job roles and defined process inputs and outputs.
It's good to occasionally remind oneself where one should NOT be.
