In a way, sure. In reality it's just joining of two jobs that shouldn't be joined.
I was great at sales, and became a sales manager thus sales for the whole team went up considerably. I had guys twice my age coming to me thanking me for helping them earn more than they ever had in their sales career.
Why someone thought it made sense to task me with managing the sale of 150 cars a month, helping 10+ salespeople close deals AND random bs dealer paperwork not at all related to sales I will never understand. But that's what the industry does. Usually average sales people are promoted to sales manager, so they don't focus on helping salespeople that much, and instead enjoy the random paperwork associated with the position.
I wasn't willing to hurt sales of the team in order to have time to do paperwork, so I let all the paperwork slip. Other people let the sales slip so paperwork stayed correct.
