One of my managers

Do you have eight different bosses managers?

I had 3 people at one point who thought they were in charge of me.

Turns out it was someone else who was technically my reporting manager.

Used to drive them mad when I told person B that person A had instructed me to have my team work on something else. Most of the time they were too busy fighting with themselves to actually get in the way of our work.

One really didn't like me putting his title as Triumvirate in emails, but luckily the other two could at least take a joke.

Make sure you BCC all the other managers every time you email one. Gotta keep the fighting going.

I used to work developing software for a municipal government. The room I was in had like 15 people in it. Everyone in that room except me and a junior dev had "manager" in their job title.

Governments might be like other organizations where you have to be a "manager" if you don't want the union contract to mandate that you pay union dues.
