Managers are the most hated role in any company. They're being tasked with a vague direction from senior leaders to then try to translate that to the frontline workers. And then those people are like, I hope you're representing our thoughts, our feedback, our concerns, our ideas to the senior leaders. The managers are sitting in the middle trying to make it all work. And guess what? When it doesn't go good, they get all the blame. When things go right, they receive none of the praise.
