RE: Good DBA vs. Bad DBA

Mladen - What hasn't Dilbert had to say about managers? Read his books if you need more. Along this topic, someone provided the answer to "why do technical people like Dilbert's opinions so much?". Their response was that because we are hired because we are intelligent and educated (well I'm still fooling them), we are hard to manage. We tend not to blindly trust authority figures, but to be a little skeptical. In fact, sometimes I think a DBA is a professional skeptic.

I'm interested in any good comments that Dilbert has had about managers. I happen to like my manager (and no, he's not on this list).
