We would ask ourselves 'has it happened yet?' Referring to the virtual lobotomy all our newly promoted tech folks received when they jumped into management.

Inevitably after about 6 weeks they thought and acted differently. Only about 20% were still admired by us as they seemed to jump out of the trenches.

Funny how you didn't like these things until you switched positions.

We would always say. Gee if they hired us now, we wouldn't be here.
