Yeah, you forgot the - “You have all of the responsability and zero decision making power” part. I would rather nail my nuts to the wall than go back to middle managment.

I used to have a 121 each day with a team member at the local coffee shop, then a Friday team breakfast meeting on a Friday. The team were highly motivated and engaged. I still have no idea what they did.

Don’t forget to meet with all the other middle managers so that your teams can align

middle management, punching bag for the executives when their plans dont work out and for the work force that they manage so the executives dont look bad. and they also have a actual job besides managing they need to do as well.

Being a middle manager is one of the riskiest things you can do, you’re primed for getting cut

That's lower Management. The Middle Management Guy is the one in the left. People who he manages (guy in the right), don't do the work direktly anymore.

Middle management is just a game of ensuring everyone is doing their job to standard and when their not document it. Another good chunk of it is also drama

told my new manager I don't need 1:1 meetings. I said if you need anything or I need anything we can talk then. He said that's fine with me. 👍
