I got stuck in this trap for a bit at my last job. I was called a "manager" and expected to do all of the managerial bits, but only had 2 others on my team that were very junior. Yet I was still expected to take on a full IC load, yet also deal with all the upwards reporting stuff, and I had to "find the resources" for all the forced work that was being put on us, and there was tons of it- datacenter moves, all kinds of transparent changes that were happening beneath us but still needed someone to "check out" on the weekends to ensure things weren't broken, etc. And of course any outage that happened, my name was front and center, but big successes, it was in there... somewhere. This was during covid, and headcount was always "about to be approved" but Covid. But this. But that... Never again will I fall into that trap.
