My experience with managers is they exist to put pressure on engineers for social reasons. They never do anything useful and within a short time I tend to resent their interference in my work, so I start fucking things up and generally slacking to screw their metrics up. If I could find a company that honestly wanted work done, they would just give me tickets and I'd power through them. But nobody cares about work, it's all this weird social game. I don't understand it.
