I found it refreshingly honest. Most of us aren't landing people on Mars or working on a cure for cancer here. Most of us are, infact, relatively unimportant (including the guy managing minions.)
- phpnode 5y agoThe people who speak like this in my experience typically use that kind of terminology to highlight their own superiority, not realising that it has the opposite effect.
- dsr_ 5y agoI condensed "people who see me as their boss and/or mentor and/or intermediator with the company" into the humorous and highly inaccurate "minions". Feel free to continue to evaluate my performance on the basis of my word-choice here rather than the actual management process I was describing.
- phpnode 5y agoI have no idea about your performance, I'm sure you're a great manager. I only noted your word choice because I've seen people talking this way about their reports and it doesn't reflect well on them.
- int_19h 5y agoHave you seen people talking about themselves like that? Because that's how "minion" is frequently used humorously, and I was assuming that OP was channeling that.
