Have you heard the advice to "manage up"?

Maybe it sounds empowering, I've mostly heard it in the context of someone trying to grow their career, but the more I think about it the more it sounds like an implicit acknowledgement that management doesn't know how to do its job. You're not a manager, why should you have to manage your boss? That's literally their job and you're expected to do your job and theirs? 😒

We gotta stop promoting folks to managers and then not training them. Or anyone.
