Think you pretty much nailed it lol. I'd make you a fuckin manager hahaha.been reading a ton on it, what it's like, how to do it effectively, etc. my biggest reservations right now are:
1. the amount of stress is going to be significant for a while. no way around it. it's not terribly stressful right now, but that is definitely going to change.
2. it's a lot more exposure. if the people i oversee don't perform, or someone quits, it's the manager that is looked at first and foremost. their successes are mine, and their failures are doubly mine.
3. i'll have to fire people at some point. i think that's probably the scariest aspect of such a position. taking away someone's livelihood is not a light thing to consider.
but, the personal impacts i can have on my team will be much more significant, and that's the whole reason i'm doing this. i could likely keep moving up from senior software engineer into staff then principal, but want to try out management for a few years and see if i'm any good at it. worst thing that could happen is i'm an utter failure and decide to go back to slinging code. it's not like a career killing move, ya know.
Wow... Hi I just stopped in to say hi/byThink you pretty much nailed it lol. I'd make you a fuckin manager hahaha.
The part that wears on me the most is managing employees that all have strengths and weaknesses, trying to balance the workload to take advantage of those strengths and work around the weaknesses while also providing training to help improve upon those weaknesses.
But key, and you said it, is that their performance reflects on you. So it's really about identifying those strengths and weaknesses. It's no longer about how good could you do their job, it's about helping them become good at their jobs while maintaining a level of respect so they don't turn on ya lol.
Depends on if ya like people in general? Before I owned my own business I was a corporate manager in the manufacturing sect. And let me just say in general skilled or unskilled people are stupid imo for every one good employee we went thru 10 easy , gotta imagine it’s worse today? Unless your willing to pay ? I wish ya good luck in your new venture!been reading a ton on it, what it's like, how to do it effectively, etc. my biggest reservations right now are:

thats how you wear your self to the ground.Do the work yourself, keep it real. SS
Also, I can vouch for that 10:1 ratio. Lol, the golf club i managed had terrible wages and we went through staff like crazy, finding someone both intelligent and capable that would commit was a challenge to say the least.Depends on if ya like people in general?

yeah, i'm already realizing as the team lead and training a couple new-to-the-company hires and a couple transfers from other teams that the two new hires are going to take some work. Granted, my field is incredibly technical -- more technical than just your typical website, we maintain what's called the platform which is the underbelly of the backend on which all our various other customer-facing applications run on top of. It's not an area that your run of the mill engineer can easily come into and adapt to quickly, nor are most of your run of the mill engineers suited for the complexities we deal with. The only way we can really gauge if a person is going to be successful on this team are to run em for six months and do a performance review then.Depends on if ya like people in general?

haha, ya ya: you just wait@Observationist i think your observation is having a bit of miscoordination? You wanna tell me you like that pic but you aint loving it?
LOL! I bet, you wished you could have one?
What was she down with? Any breathing issues?@BionicKroniK @ComfortablyNumb the ol lady has been down and out for three days. She's feeling better-ish and is debating smoking. What does the jury say?
No breathing issues, we're not quite sure. She collapsed a few days ago, dizziness, nausea, back pain, slight intermittent headache. No fever, coughing, congestion, etc. So some symptoms of rona but nothing definitive. test came back negative, and she's had vertigo since our daughter was born. we've kept her in isolation just in case though.What was she down with? Any breathing issues?
A clove of garlic, smashed, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tblspn raw honey. Mix well, wash down with 2 shots of burbon or drink of choice, but not beer. The hops mess with the anti-biotic properties of the rest. Give her that and an orange then wait 2 hours and see how she feels. Light puffs at most. Better to decarb and eat it.No breathing issues, we're not quite sure. She collapsed a few days ago, dizziness, nausea, back pain, slight intermittent headache.
