Yep. There are many, many big fish in tiny ponds overrated and overpaid assholes who lord status, seniority, and title over others by overtalking and ignoring others, shoot down everyone else's ideas reflexively, and are unable and unwilling to see anything outside of their narrow, calcified viewpoint. I remember this atrophied Cisco CCIE who became a manager scoff at WireGuard because "he hadn't heard of it" while promoting antique ASA VPN that was fragile, unreliable, and unsupported. Then there was this negative, inhuman IC paid somewhere $750k-1M year who had been there forever who was in-charge of "important things" incapable of listening to anyone else's ideas or communicating anything cooperative, positive, or real in the slightest... but always there to express FUD about everyone else's plans and ready to make people look stupid or incompetent at the slightest perceived nit. Bloody hell, prima donnas need to be fired immediately for the sake of team morale.
