Actually, that was typed matter-of-factly. That's just how I talk, but you don't know me.
I used to be frustrated when I slotted a bunch of slackers, but didn't manage them. That led me into management at another paper. Within a year, I was recruited elsewhere for six figures, so I'm actually grateful to the slackers and our gutless manager.
I never wanted to manage anyone, and it turns out I'm good at it. I basically use the gutless manager as an anti-role model, and my bosses love me for me for that, lol.
The best part is helping people get better at their work. All you can do is offer help, though. Some people lack the smarts or work ethic. In that case, I help show them the door. I don't dislike them, though. I actually feel for them. It must suck to stink at your chosen work. It's not right that the good people have to carry them, though. They already work hard enough.
