Yes, this is called "seniority" and "delegation." As you get more senior, your problems get more important, your time gets more valuable, your needs get more urgent. This is why there are more junior employees than senior employees, why companies are structured like pyramids, why a team generally has one lead, and so on.
- n4r9 5y agoSo: all of the Slack pings you're talking about are coming from further up the heirarchy?
- antisthenes 5y agoMy point was - I don't mind being pinged and generally making myself more available to my immediate senior managers. I do take issue if I constantly get pinged from people who are in lateral teams and positions and in companies where there's no clearly defined structure and everyone pings everyone. Then it's pure toxic chaos. Hope that clarifies it.
- mbrodersen 5y agoTrue if you are a bad manager. False if you know how to hire competent people and delegate effectively. The best managers are not busy at all. The worst managers are constantly trying to fix problems ultimately created by themselves.
