Management is just making other people do your work 99% of the time. And it's expected! I've run a few teams with good results and it's always the easiest position in the group.

It's only easy if the team is competent and motivated. I can literally hand some people on my team step by step instructions and they still come out wrong 50% of the time because they either think they know better (they don't) or they're just lazy. On top of that the HR policy here makes it take 6 months to replace a person and get us up to speed so if I get rid of the shittiest ones I'm still in a worse spot than I would be if I just deal with coaching them all the time. Working on jumping to a new role that isn't a leadership position because I'm so tired of being responsible for other people's performance.

Until two people hate eachother on your team. And act like children because of it. Never again.

Those are the employees designated for under-the-bus duty. Easy peezy.
