You are correct in that management in industry is often as bad as management in government.

We used to see smart and capable young people promoted in our company. If they went to the home office, in 3 months they hated the sales staff, the customers and spouted the insider mantras. The good field managers if they survived the first couple of years of field management became real supporters of the good sales reps and customers. This often made the home office nervous and these managers often would be harrassed into resigning to go back to being sales reps or leaving the company or into taking promotion into the home office to become a corporate Borg.
