I once read that your manager has a greater impact on your health than your doctor and I think about it a lot

Although I understand accessing education can be a barrier, I think anyone being promoted to managerial positions should have to take training in order to learn best practices. The fact that people with no specific managerial education get high ranking positions is…not good.

I’m no expert, but as someone with a degree in management and doing research in the field, I see we, as a society, minimizes its importance. It’s not just “bossing people around” and that many don’t understand has led to so many of the workplace issues we have.

The research funding!!!! I have so many feelings about this!!!! We expect profs who LOVE teaching to ALSO research (in my experience anyways) and profs who love researching to also teach. Why not…just let people do what they love/are good at? And everyone WILL win.

That’s (sadly) not a surprise at all to me. I mean, think about how we treat public school teachers (hint: abysmally, for a start). We truly punish people who are good at their jobs when those jobs focus on empathy, patience, and compassion vs prioritizing a bottom line.

Agreed, it's a shame. The saddest part is that those jobs often are the hardest to do well because many of those skills can't be taught or learned via a textbook or training alone. It's part of the problem with the branding and delineation of "soft" skills vs. "hard" skills IMHO.

Not to mention 10000 times the amount of money sometimes it's happened to me I just didn't make a big deal out of it because it seems Petty and unnecessary and I do what I did for love not money
