More meetings!

Technically, neither of the skills mentioned are necessary for the job of making unreasonable demands and berating workers for exercising their rights 🤷

Where are their legs, who took them???

A fine example of the Peter Principle

Panel 4:

“But you inspire 6 people to work at peak capacity so that the team is as effective as 9 people, and they all say you give a shit about them, their growth, and doing the work that actually matters with guidance and appropriate comp adjustment. Be a manager.”

If you work with incompetent middle management, move. When you work for a great manager in a great team, you feel bulletproof.

I can respect a manager that can’t do these things, if they can delegate and choreograph people well. Sometimes being a good manager simply requires one to be able to corral and give support where needed. They can admit to not being capable of things and respect their reports that do those things well.

If they can’t do anything and just take a top down, demanding approach all the time, they’re useless.

also a lot of fun is if you can code, design and do business and are out of a job because no company has a job like this…
