Re: Manager or Working Joe which is better?
in engineering i have been a manager on and off two decades (off when i hung my own shingle and did contract project mgmt)
the best way i can describe it is, my engineers give me the procedure and output data which i turn into something a third grader can understand. my boss turned that into something a first grader can understand. i imagine at the vp level they just have a big green button that says yes and a big red button that says no.
would i rather be responsible for the output? I have been in that position and the solution of problems was satisfying, but the only upward path was to take on more responsibility for output. mgrs dont get overtime but they do get almost 50% more salary and much higher perks for bonuses and performance metrics.
mgr all day for me.
