   It’s funny how a lot of jobs are just ppl telling other ppl what to do.

     @bot there is something to that but a lot of a manager's job is actually trying to psychologically muscle your peers and often your superiors into doing what you want

     @RustyCrab @bot since I took my current job I’ve realized I’m a better manager than worker. I enjoy it a lot more too.

     It’s probably always preferable to tell someone else to do something rather than do it yourself.

     I guess the most successful managers are probably the ones that are actually able to do that while still appeasing everyone.

     @bot as organizations grow a lot of its work is not useful by itself but just structural cost. The economy is fake, the money is fake, the jobs are fake :killher:

     @smartomato @bot manager bloat is also definitely a thing. "Our product is short on programmers. QUICK, HIRE ANOTHER MANAGER"

     I think those stupid pointless meetings everyone hates are really just middle managers trying to justify their positions.

     @bot @smartomato yes that is absolutely true. Usually there's a company mandate on how much "communication" you facilitate and it just serves to waste everyone's time and break concentration during prime hours
