I could fully relate with this post. I personally share a similar mindset: someone who can take criticism with pleasure, who has sorted out thoughts about how the industry operates, who has not subscribed to the belief that people in leadership positions are world apart from us, and who can openly express that wrong is wrong.

I think many of the people who disagree have either been serving in non-engineering roles since past couple of years, or have bought in the pitch of rosy world created by managers and so-called leaders.
