| Topic | Do you think that managers are usually smarter than the workers below them? |
| EndOfDiscOne 09/13/17 5:18:41 PM #53: | KamikazePotato posted... They are entirely different skill sets. Most managers aren't going to be able to code, or speak a foreign language, or play professional sports, or any number of things their employees are specialized to do. I think you're choosing some highly specialized professions to make your point. Look at some of the larger workforces out there. I think a school principal could teach more easily than a teacher could be a principal. A plant manager could learn the machinery better than the low level operator could manage the plant (unless it's something specialized you need a 2 year degree or apprenticeship for). A doctor could be a nurse more easily than the other way around (though a doctor isn't technically a manager). We do joke at my firm that the partners would have a hard time preparing a tax return. But they know waayyy more than I do, and there's no way I could advise clients on major issues the way that they do, at this point in my career. --- Ulti was right ... Copied to Clipboard! |
