I've been an engineering manager for a couple of years now and I don't agree (shocker I know), but I think that's because I function very differently in my role compared to the description in this post. My #1 job is to support the engineers below me. I make sure projects don't scope-creep (PM should do this in theory but they often don't), I make sure my direct reports have someone they can go to when they get blocked, and I ensure our code quality and standards are upheld without being a micro-manager in doing so. Also when it comes to salary increases and promotions I think it's crazy if an engineering manager doesn't fight for their best performers to get those regularly. You're just doing a bad job if you don't get your quality people raises. Your best engineers will simply leave eventually, which is much more expensive than a raise would have been. For engineers who don't perform well, they should have clear communication and actionable steps toward promotions and raises. I think the real issue is a lot of engineers have bad managers, period. It has little to do with if they are called an "Engineering Manager" or not.
