When I managed a team I considered my job to be do what I needed to do so that they could do their job well and keep them as happy as I could whilst doing it.
Sometimes I had to step in and make an unpopular decision but that was my job too because I was monitoring things to make sure that everything was helping with the big picture.
Every week or so I had a meeting with the powers to keep them up to date.
I was able to do it whilst also doing the techie bits, I am not sure what full time managers do all day.Comment

The train at one of my local stations continually departs before the tables time, ******* annoying as you will agree.
I decided to complain every time this happened and each time they would write a reply back "sorry, we will bring this up and the next monthly managerial meeting"
Could they not just line the culprits up ( I provided the times and dates ) and tell them to pull the finger out?
It is what I see all the time in all manner of clients, managers rarely add that much value, they just talk tulipe amongst themselves.Comment

Go do the job, then criticise. Meanwhile, do what you're paid to do. It's much easier.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Feel free to add your own examples.
I may someday collate them in a book called 'Why the world would be better off without managers'.
Yes. Yes there are.Comment
