* Taking all the blame when your team fails

* Getting no reward when your team succeeds

* Never being thanked or appreciated by your direct reports or manager

* Being in pointless meeting with people who've never built anything

* Smiling and nodding politely when being told what to do by people with no skin in the game.

* Having your decade of engineering experience being ignored because you didn't write that line of code

* Getting dressed down when you did write that piece of code instead of delegating it.

Other than that it is quite fulfilling.
