This is why I always tell employers up front to never put me in, nor consider me for, management tracks. “I like to work in the trenches.” I have no desire to be among these corporate people.
You're smarter than I am. I took the promotions, and ended up miserable.
I learned the hard way that higher leveld don't mean more decision-making power. It means more of your time is spent in endless meetings trying to convince people to agree to the obviously right decision. It's a never ending exercise in frustrating stupidity.
I was lucky enough to witness managers deal with this ahead of time. Plus, I just know myself and I know that I shouldn’t be managing other people. I have ADHD and my executive dysfunction makes me a terrible decision maker. I learned my limits and stuck to them.
