I’ve been at my current job for 10 months now, manager who hired me was my manager at last job for like a year. He is pushing me to take a “team lead” job but ive always refused those in every other job ive been in. Seems like theyre always stressed, and like its not worth the headaches. Im very OCD about work and never call in, which my bosses see and are like “omg, youre such a good worker. Youd make a good boss right” which…no. Im super non confrontational and am terrible and social cues lmao.
Im happy just riding out where im at. I get good benefits, already paid well, and have no kids. Why tf add stress?
I've never been a manager at my place of paid employment, but I was a manager at a not-for-profit/volunteer organisation, and that alone was enough to turn me off it. I'm convinced most managers are like genies trying to get some sucker into the bottle to take their place (edit: and yeah essentially by the time I realised, that was what I was doing, trying to find someone to take the reins so I could dip)
