This book is an anthology of posts on people and project management from 2008 to 2010, when the author was a manager and was roaming between management training sessions. It started as a blog, Management Bits and Tips: Reflections on Software Engineering and Software Technical Support Management, which now survives as a Facebook page, ManagementBits. When the author returned to engineering after management in 2009, he wanted to publish a book with the original title, Management Bits: An Anthology from Reductionist Manager. Around 2015, he changed its title to Critique of Management Reason: Management Bits and Tips from Can't and added a few more bits as late as 2017.

You've been "senior" for years and you're still getting paged for incidents on systems you barely understand.
