Current Events > Now that I'm in management, I feel little empathy for lower position workers.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Imagine not having the gumption to excel at your job, get the attention of your superiors, then summarily make your way up the management ladder.

God, who are these baby boomers who do the same job for 40 years and don't bother to get into management
but they get salty once you make it
Talkin bout this KID just took that job

Obviously you didn't sacrifice enough to get the job
Imaigne having a problem with working 60 hour work weeks. Sad!

Actually most people where I work don't want to be management lol

You're salaried and don't get time and a half for OT.

But that's a secret.

People become management because they prove they will do what upper management and ownership tells them with a big "Yes Sir!" and will put job above their personal lives.

Enjoy your bright tie and name tag.

Then you wouldn't seriously talk shit about doing the bare minimum so that you can fucking get along in life

Is this like the third time you make this topic or what?

Sometimes I wish I could go back to not really having job responsibilities. Just feels like babysitting, and it gets tiresome.

Imagine thinking having to work for 40 hours a week is too much lmfao

some people don't know what it is to just have two days off regularly lmfao they complaining about having to work 5 days a week get outta here

Like yall will complain about your shitty job and how they treat you poorly
you ever thought maybe if you were actually good at your job and worth anything in terms of being proactive, being a leader, you'd get ahead?

things don't get harder for you up the corporate ladder my job is the easiest thing ever i just had to suffer through a few labor jobs to get here

Bok can you also tell me how to make money from home in 3 easy steps?

Didn't you make this thread like a week ago? Middle management isn't impressive, but enjoy the dead end job I guess.

If having a high status job means you have to be a petty asshole then I'm better off without one.

Is this your new gimmick? I think this is like the third topic you've made about this

Or in the real world of minimum wage businesses, those who are good at their job don't move ahead because nobody else will step up and do what they do. Instead, the brown-noser fuck-ups get the promotions because they will do the least damage in that position.

thing is

you will likely not be there for even 5 more years

management gets canned quite frequently

I mean, you will make more $ and can find work elsewhere, but if you want to stay at same place don't get into management actually

that is how they been there for 40 years

but they want a stable job to reduce stress and not have to worry about months without working looking for another job and having obamacare instead of good insurance

so you would rather them all be in management and you stuck in their position unable to moveup because of stiff managerial competition?
---

They'll probably feel extra bad about themselves when they find out their manager is some loser who still lives at home with mommy and daddy

Im fine doing what i do. I can earn up to 360 hours of paid time off a year, earning 5 hours a week and I get time and a half every week. I make more than my supervisor and he works 9 more hours a week than I do. Lol

Imagine thinking that middle management is something special.

Most of the time the hourly people right below middle management will make more money working 50 hours then the person in middle management will because they are salaried.

Granted, there are certain freedoms that come with a middle management job, but it's a sad day if you feel you are special for getting there.

Perhaps you have self esteem issues and are trying to get validation, I know I wouldn't brag about middle management.

Working hard and being the best at your job isn't how you get promoted to manager though. Even if you work 60 hour weeks.

So I've worked my way up to a director position within my organization, making a decent salary and like my job etc. I have more empathy for the part time workers because I've been in that position.

I mean obviously you're a known troll and this is a pretty low effort post, but the conversation that has started is kind of real.

I will say that this is unfortunately somewhat true. It definitely helps to be proficient and hardworking, but being perceived as such is actually more important. Networking is the actual most important thing though. I wouldn't have the job I currently have if I didn't make connections with other staff and board members etc. My current boss actually used to work for me like 5 years back when I first started up the ladder.

At my job we've been down in management for months. We've been asking and searching for employees to sign up and start the promotion process so we could fill the positions but they all refuse to do it, or just drag their feet and show no enthusiasm for the job so they get passed over. Just recently, someone who has only been there for a month applied for the management position and he got the job. As soon as the other workers found out he did they started harassing him cause he's only been there for a month and now it's his job to tell them how to do their jobs (ironically enough, his new position makes him in charge of training all of our new hires). So people that have been near-minimum wage employees for nearly a decade keep on tossing shade at a guy when both groups of people are in the same exact position that they want to be in. It's pretty funny.

All this talk about climbing up the ladder not realizing how close the glass ceiling is lol.

Middle management doesn't become a corporate executive.
