Back in the mid-70s there was a large computer conference held in Halifax, and most of our office attended. One session featured a presentation by Grace Hopper, who was still active in the U.S. Navy. Due to the number of attendees, the session was held in a movie theater. As a warmup, they showed one of Newhart's classic telephone routines, this time the one with Herman Hollerith, which was quite appropriate. The audience was in stitches throughout the routine, as he poked fun at our profession, and our use of those iconic cards.
When I heard of his death last night, I found the routine on-line, and watched it again. Fond memories for sure.
And yes, that final scene with Suzanne Pleshette at the end of Newhart is an absolute classic. RIP, Bob.

I recall that in the 80s, Dr. Demento would play the driving inspector skit.
I have a Bob Newhart album, unsure what's on it.
In the first episode of Mrs. Maisel, Joel does one of Bob's routines.

I recently came upon two books:
1. The Staff Engineer's Path[^] by Tanya Reilly
2. The Manager's Path[^] by Camille Fournier
The TLDR;
* Read The Manager's Path
* Do not even consider The Staff Engineer's Path. It's terrible.
Longer Explanation
Since I am primarily a Software Developer I started listening to the first one (the staff engineer's path) as an audio book.
As I got into the book I discovered that this author actually wrote this book inspired by The Manager's Path.
But as I got just a bit into the material I found it terrible!!
Sooooooo boring... Absolutely terrible!
And, each time the author explained how software dev and business works I thought, "no I've never seen it work that way in 33 years. Nope! Not right."
No actionable material. Just droning on. Only made it half-way thru. Oy! Ugh! 🤮
Yet I persisted. I decided, "ok, I'll take a run at The Manager's Path so I can at least make fun of it."
But, wow!
The Manager's Path Summary
The Manger's Path is all of the things that every one of the managers you've ever had __say__ that they want to do, but end up never doing.
The Manager's Path contains actionable plans that could be used to transform a Team or a Company.
This book is amazing!
The Caveat!
But, there's one caveat I have to it: Beware! You may learn the way things _should_ be done and become (more) bitter about managers and companies (if that is possible). 
But, wow, so many great ideas in this book. And so many great explanations of how things should be done.

So true!

Yeah, generally, they are completely unaware of the people around them, because they can't see past their own egos. Very sad, as they cause so much unnecessary pain and suffering.

People are generally promoted until they reach their own level of incompetence.
No point in bitching about this because it applies universally, including to oneself; and we all want to be promoted to as high up the ladder as we can get.

Not true and sometimes true. Most people are just under proficient for their role. Which is another word for incompetence. Some learn on the job to at least do their role and some move on.
Also, gonna point out the irony dude... you're bitching about not bitching. Look inward.

You're projecting. Not everyone wants that. A famous example being Woz.

I never thought about being promoted, I stayed a firmware engineer my whole career (just love the low level stuff). If you gave me cool projects to work on I was happy.
