Idk if its that big of an "if". People who are ending up as managers are rarely highly trained in the job or receiving a ton of support. Often just attracting bad personalities. Its always someone who wants to do something different then engineering, they become a manager. Imagine if we hired engineers because someones friend thought it sounded interesting and they had to do all their learning on the job. > By this logic every job is useless. Any role can have someone bad at it. Its not really the same because there's only one manager. If i had redundant managers maybe then a couple bad ones could get by. bad engineers have a tons of checks to prevent them being a real drain. theres no code review for a manager. |

You are saying these things as though they are simple truths that I am just supposed to accept. But I do not.
People who end up as managers are selected for their potential and receive lots of support, more often than not.
Often attracting great personalities since the job is about interfacing with people, more often than not.
It's always someone who wants to do management, whether or not they want to continue engineering, more often than not.

Yea, sounds terrible. It's a darn good thing we don't hire engineers or managers like this.
