Why are managers the way that they are?

Life… errr… finds a way.

If you manage to find out let us know.

@Lensflare clever girl...

Devs.

You manage things and lead people.

Companies are trying to manage people. They should be doing logistics instead.

Sounds like you have a story. Please tell.

Managers are the way they are because they are reporting to narcissistic psychopaths that run companies.

C level people are insane. Lol.

I just asked my employees (from my office, yelling o course) "why am I the way they are" and one of them quickly responded with unresolved childhood trauma while the other one said "a history of anger management issues" and the rest agreed.

I agree with them as well. Good team.

@Lensflare haha I got that reference.

They are what they are because they can't be what they want.
