Probably. Maybe. I have no clue. I only recently found out there have been three people in this middle management role before me; not a single one of them stayed around for two years. I’m on month 14 and started working on the resume this morning. :/
- lotsofpulp 6y agoCertain middle management positions are setup to be “fall guy” positions. Technically, everyone is a fall guy for the person above them, but some more than others. For example, the budget gets decided a few levels up, but the the immediate manager knows they aren’t being given the resources to succeed. Then their strategy, if they have the ability, might be to hire someone who they can point a finger to when it inevitably fails.

- beckingz 6y agoThis is great. The morale of the story is that it takes a year to figure out that organization-person fit is bad?
