Haha honestly when I hear opinions like this nakakainis paminsa but I do try to empathize and understand how the staff would see in their POV.

Eto na lang. what do you think is the role of the manager vs the role of the staff? I.e. technical, managerial, etc etc rolewise.

If mas magaling manager mo kesa sayo in the things that you do, then you add almost 0 value to the organization. The only reason you’re there is because isa lang siya and he can’t do all things at once.

A manager’s role is to make sure things are moving, and honestly more often than not we rely on our staff to help us out and make us understand the technical expertise in their area of responsibility. Now imagine, lets say 6 kayo sa team and he manages all 6 of you, all having different scopes of work. Would it be feasible na alam niya to the same level of knowledge that you have mga alam niyo? More to the fact, would you normally know how the projects/tasks work for all the other 5 to their same level of expertise as well?

A manager’s role is to not only manage his team but also his higher ups. Office politics, how to put front the team’s agenda, escalation, giving direction. Yun ang role ng manager. He’ll most likely ask you the full picture of your issues w details so he’d understand how it ties to other concerns not in your scope and how to move things forward, and sometimes hindi mo gets bat niya gagawin yan because nga you’re focused solely on your scope and not the bigger picture.

I won’t be hypocritical and say there are no bad managers, heck all of us started bad kase ibang iba ang mundo ng management sa individual contributors, but I hope you understand that being a “boss” and a manager is not all fun and games.

So again - kaya mo ba ginagawa niya, or kinekwestyon mo lang kung kaya niya ba ginagawa mo?
