Does anyone actually enjoy managing?

If you can find the order in it , it becomes easier.

Gotta have good assistants...that means they're better than you but don't tell them that.

Well... It depends on what the team is like. In my last year in the Navy, I was "managing" a division of 60+ people. But my people were all very dedicated and motivated to a singular purpose. Yes, the individual team leaders needed coaching and there were "HR" issues to deal with, but in general I looked it a lot. Now in my post-Navy job, I'm in a sort of "player-coach" role and I have a team of eleven people. I like it, but I got to choose all eleven people. I imagine that makes a big difference.

It would be easier without people involved 😑

I enjoyed it because I had a great staff and my employees showed that they enjoyed their work.

It's challenging. Focus on the bigger picture.

No, it's the only thing that's worse than being managed

Fire your boss.

Its like a fake job. I cant explain it but its a position that shouldn't exist lol. Its a placeholder for something evil and sinister.

It’s good if you can cultivate a positive culture, but if you’re saddled with a bunch of whiners and the professional victims it’s pretty grim

Bossy types with no real personal power 😛

It absolutely is babysitting!! The world is populated with temp workers!😫😤🤬

😭 It's killing me!😵

I enjoyed managing the employees I hired. But I'm good at finding people who are self sufficient. There were employees I inherited with serious performance issues. That sucks.

I manage interns so it even more feels like babysitting. I have responsibilities, I’m also responsible of their mistakes. Interns do tons of mistakes everyday 😂 i have to TRIPLE CHECK EVERYTHING. some days im like are they motherfucking dumb or are they just learning ?
I think if you manage a team of competent and independent employees all should be ok

Kiss asses and power trippers mostly.

Mamaging sucks. It's just usually slightly better than being managed. But it sucks ass because to really secure your job, you basically have to simp for the employer and screw your fellow employees. You can try and mitigate it which is cool, but at the end of the day your whole position is to wage a battle on the employees for the benefit of the owner. That's your job.


Really though....
Everything about traditional employment sucks balls.
