What do managers do all the time?

They are meant to solve disputes among those who are leveled below them in the corporate organisational hierarchy. To evaluate all their problems becomes a burden, because each individual expects to be treated as extraordinary individual, and while they might have a special attitude, they should not be leveled higher than their co-workers unless these are proovingly considered to be incapable of keeping up with their supposed-to-be extraordinary teammates. And what happens if the others catch up and figure out that one wants to get raised higher than they are? They push this special one down with any argumentation they can find useful. Managing is a war on a thin line between the good and evil, and you have to treat them like sheep in your herd. Being this shepherd, you’ll give them a long and prosper life… until you fire them like lambs to the slaughter.
