Jokes aside. I think it's definitely better to be straight with the
boss and earn respect over time. Watch what you say and always back it
up with supporting evidence. ....in case of incompetent manager, the
supporting evidence (metrics) will be just as affective as any mumbo
jumbo. :)

managers love metrics. Come up with some completely irrelevant
statistics to do a 'db health check'. Show that these numbers are
horrible. Then make some completely irrelevant change and show your boss
the same irrelevant metrics and proclaim that the db is now healthy.=20
Spit out some archaic and jumbled techno-babble so that noone has any
idea what you are talking about(they will assume you are smart, because
only smart people talk like that).=20
this actually works... its also useful to get managers to go away when
they get annoying.=20
