Most of the Managers I know were thrust into management mainly due to the fact it was more cost effective to have them 'lead' instead of 'do'. I try to tune them out but keep listening in hopes the talk about something new and exciting like how to reupholster a sofa or something.
Managers are like chairs. Some spin around endlessly and others fold under the slightest pressure. When the get worn out or begin to smell bad we get new ones. We are generally happy to see them and after we break them in we take them for granted or reminisce about the old ones.
