Since I was promoted into a management role at work, I've noticed that I've started answering people's questions with a question. I hate it. I might have to quit.

@fesshole

Before quitting, think about it carefully and weigh the pros and cons. Look at the extra pay and the benefits it brings against the extra stress and the risk of going against your moral values. Moral values are too often disregarded, but constantly going against them can lead to mental health problems by creating cognitive dissonance.

(See, I've never been anywhere near a management position, so i can be straightforward)...

@fesshole

As for answering any question with a question, this is very similar to the socratic method of philosophy and a millenia old technique to reach higher truths.

Perhaps don't see yourself as a manager, but see yourself as a philosopher.
