Funny memes. No politics.

Rules:

  1. Post memes.
  2. They shouldn't be political. Basically, memes here should appeal to people regardless of their political views.
  3. Be nice.

  • Manager has been there for 5+ years.
  • Manager doesn’t do any work.
  • All responsibility to deliver is on team, not leadership.
  • Leadership takes over ownership at the end of a successful project to promote themselves.
  • Pizza parties with free beer

Manager has been there for 5+ years.

In my experience this is fine, it's the ones who never stay in a role for more than two years you've got to watch out for. They seem to use each position as a temporary stepping stone on their career climb and rarely care about the team or the product!

Yeah. Two years is just about long enough for a company to figure out that a manager is useless.

External hire managers are the worst, they come in and have no idea how the company/product/department works (not their fault) so they tend to rely on sales-guru style tactics and rhetoric that just end up costing a bunch of time sucking each other off instead of, ya know, getting the job done.
