Management always has the least consistency so I never want to be in that role.

When I was in retail the people who got moved up were always the useful idiots who were buddies with the bigger managers.

They asked and I said no at first. Then it became apparent that I would be doing manager level work anyway, so the next year I accepted.

My manager got fired because he flipped out and screamed down the owner. I got a battlefield promotion that I made them bribe me to accept and change the job to eliminate things that I really didn't want to do.

Never been a real supervisor but at my current job one boss has told me many times when he's had to get on to me about something (doing the whole compliment sandwhich thing where you list a positive a negative then another positive) that he just knew I'd be a supervisor one day. So it seems like he was attempting to groom me for it.

Also was team leader at bk which is like being a supervisor minus all the paperwork and real authority. I didn't ask for that

This pretty much. I started out with a manager title at my current job with no direct reports, but have just kinda moved up since then.

Yes. They opened the position, and I had to go through the process. I think its mostly because I was moving from a non-managerial role to a managerial one, but I also know there are policies in place where we have to go through the motions for filling positions, even if we know who we want in them.
