Being a manager, especially a middle manager, is actually the hardest job there is out there.

Not only do you have to take shit from your boss, but you also have to take shit from your employees, and customers as well.

Your boss tells you everyone is going to get a 2% raise this year, or no raise at all, and then sends you off to go and inform your staff.

And who do you think they blame? That's right you.

You try to smooth things over by recognizing them the only way you can and they complain that they didn't get any money, or you don't and they complain that you could have at least written them a nice review.

They view you as courupt, egotistical, power hunger, and some how making all the money/ taking all the credit that is rightfully theirs, while meanwhile you just want them to be happy and feel appreciated.

And guess whose ass is on the line if your employees don't produce: that's right yours!

You guessed it; I am a manager.

Now stop fucking around and get back to work.
