Agreed - this has been my experience too. It's been a mix of incompetent managers, those who can't work with "non-engineers" (aka "normal people), or simply way over their head. They're often too scared to fail and take reasonable risks. Then there's the unreasonable last minute changes that end up breaking everything. D'Oh! | :doh:

I've found that the non-technical managers were better overall because although they didn't know all of the 1's and 0's, they were at least able to better call people out on their bullshit.

A bad manager can make all the difference, which has unfortunate side effects of damaging people's career paths and ruined personal/professional relationships.
