I recently came across a link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/218123/what-was-the-strangest-coding-standard-rule-that-you-were-forced-to-follow/220101#220101
In the past I have dealt with similar people and it has really given me a much greater appreciation for how politics are done.
As programmers we often wonder how someone like that gets in charge and stays despite protests.
I have two answers.
1. Everyone just avoids the problem because they don't want to be the next target.
2. Because that person has never been challenged by any difficult programming they spent that time becoming a good business analyst. But programming pays better so they claim to be a good programmer.
