I think it’s naive to think engineers or managers don’t realize this or don’t think in these ways.

Is it truly naive if most engineer's careers pass and they never meet even one such manager?

For 24 years of career I've met the grand total of _two_ such. Both got fired not even 6 months after I got in the company, too.

Who's naive here?
