for example. one guy volunteered for an extra project. he is failing miserably and with grand fashion. he has a HUGE powerpoint presentation to make and he doesnt own a single slide yet. soo..now i have to cover his work for two days while he gets to work from home catching up. none of my work load went away to get his stuff done.

literally, he is bad at time management so i have more work to tax my time management skills. there would be no end in sight.

i am lucky. i thought they would make me put his presentation together instead. and as temp guy, i am "YES MAN"

Yeah, that's the problem. If you've got a team of folks that aren't rock stars, that's when being the manager sucks. I suspect that part of the manager's job is to try to manage/lead folks to become all that they can be and only allow them to bite off what they can chew, and if you've got someone that's just not a good fit, to get rid of them one way or another. Basically, I think a manager needs to be able to build his team into the sort of group where he doesn't have to worry about them doing their work and doing it well. Don't ask me how to do that. I don't know. That's why I'm not a manager.

And sure, if someone says "we want to promote you," most folks are going to be very excited because of the possibility of more power, more money, more responsibility, and/or a big ego stroke.
