I think maybe I didn't explain that well.

I didn't want to be in charge. I didn't want to be the boss. I didn't want to 'make hard decisions'. I love the front-line work.

But I also hate, hate, HATE being told what to do. I hated having shitty managers who had no idea what life was like for me, professionally or personally. I hated getting mandates from the company with no context.

So, the only way I saw to fix that for myself, and the people I work with, was to be the guy in charge.

I hope that clarifies. Because, I'm 100% with you. The worst managers I've ever had have been the people who absolutely, no question, wanted to be nothing but a manager for the title or responsibility and ability to be in charge.

But you still have your manager telling you what to do, no? Unless you’re a ceo.
