I end up bruising my bosses’ ego and then it doesn’t work well for me
They always tell me I’m the most talented one in the team, but I can’t do my work properly if it’s too restrictive (micromanaging) or directions are plain dumb (what the boss wants/what’s possible) or they absolutely hate it when I’m right about something and proceed to fire me over that or here’s the last ridiculous issue i keep encountering: I refuse to date them because they accepted some job as a “manager” instead of “worker”.
I want to iterate that I don’t like leadership positions or boss people around but end up getting exploited by people who are hungry to grab that power with massive egos and lot of people apply for that job not because they actually want that role and contribute, but to boss people around to compensate for whatever else they are lacking in their lives. I like focusing on my tasks without all this shitty oversight OR the additional tasks of bossing people around.
