Well, maybe your workplace wouldn't put up with these people but I can confirm that besides them not being able to use SAP to check the quantity of a BOM, to like I said - they have access to the other functions / data but prefer to delegate them to others.

So it ends up going down a hierarchy until someone else does what these managers could do themselves in the first instance.

And they spend all their time forwarding these queries to people lower down the hierarchy and that's all they do, eh?

You should probably get a new job if your company has that much dead weight and no direction.

Nah, I wouldn't want to become an office drone because I'd go from calling people on the internet liars to then trying to give others career advice when they don't even know 2% of my job.

Hilarious, the self-righteousness must come from being an office drone, right?

Who told you to become an office worker? I said your business is fucked if all of your managers are as incompetent as you think, so change jobs. You know, like "work for a different employer who you think is competent”?

I do think it's kind of ironic that you're really indignant that someone who doesn't know what you do might judge you, when you're judging others because you don't see the point to emails they sometimes send you, and you don't know what they spend their time doing.

My immediate manager is fine and like I said above, half of their managers could be given the chopping block but that doesn't mean I need to find new employment as you suggest. I quite like my job since I can walk it there, work outside all day with wonderful views even if the weather does get a bit poop sometimes.

In fact it tells me you're relatively sheltered with experience in workplaces if you think most places don't have lazy ass managers, office drones (I like this term), and good luck asking if they even have them during an interview.
