    You may be able to leverage that for benefits like WFH days or higher raises than rest of team.

    in my case I have soooo much documentation it overwhelms everyone. Every day it's always something new so it keeps growing.

    And it is terrible. If you perform this kind of delegation, you have to expect that the other tasks will be shoved back on the priority list and the overall efficiency will decrease. This busy person will need more time overall for the sum of the tasks, because this kind of parallelization will make it harder to work on one task with focus. Also they will burn out eventually. But hey, that's not management's problem.

    Yeah you just get to do the work of 3+ people as others get laid off and the workload shifted to you, until you can't actually manage to keep up and then either get laid off or quit...

    I used to think I was an idiot, that everyone around me knew what they were doing and I didn't.

    Later I joined the work force and I now I kind of wish I was an idiot because no one seems to know what they're doing and that is existentially dreadful.

    On one hand, fair.

    On the other hand, this is what the real skill of leadership is - getting people to care.

    Yeah that's true. Never said anything about being happy. Or it being sustainable. Sometimes it's all you can do to survive.

    Well the team is already WFH, but I am hoping that the job turns into a slight promotion and I will mention that during the next meeting with the department head. Also weighing my options with other parts of the company.

    There's openings in other parts of the company, though I do have it good otherwise in my current department so I will have to do some research this weekend. The major limiting factor for me is that I'm region locked due to family constraints. As for taking my team with me....there's only one person I would want to take and he's basically right where he wants to be, so he's not leaving.

    Who cares about the engineers caught in the crossfire or the lost efficiency, when Manager A can tell Manager B to shove it up theirs so they can show their N+1 a Very Important Project Milestone. That's an end-of-year bonus right there (for them, not you).

    A good manager protects their team from this bullshit. A successful manager actively sabotages the entire company by making sure they get all the prestigious projects and constantly derail everyone else into serving their personal interests.

    People are too non-confrontational. From experience, you have to mention this is impacting your other work to them cc'ing boss or verbally in stand-up, particularly if you've already documented what they have to do
