my real life example of me in the past that made me rethink alot of wanting a "manger role"

>years ago in ex kampeni i was kuli level earning around RM4-5k/mth. work was decent, clock in 9-6pm daily, low stress role
>so being young want to rank up by going into asst manager since manager also encouraged plus want earn more money
>for a period i worked/shadow with current asst manager temporarily, technically become like a 2nd asst manager but in training and working some of her roles
>so what i got was basically tonnes of meetings every week and cadence scheduled. lots of planning and compilation of reports etc, but the stupid part is so many meetings to the point you dont have time to actually do your own shit, constantly on the move from meeting to meeting. outlook calendar is like maxed out gila wan
>not to mention constant grilling in meeting on performance, being asked tough ass questions that you know you cannot win against the upper management cause theyll find a way to tibai regardless. like if you pull out stuff to protek your team members like "staff A & B achieved and exceeded KPI A requirement.", but upper management will just tibai back with "but they missing KPI B and C? wheres the improvement?"
>after that i secretly asked my asst manager how much she earning that time. she told me she was only RM7k/mth

shit's aint worth it in terms of the stress to higher salary. during asst manger leave also still has to stay on call and attend meetings kekpot, whats the point of leaves in first place?

yeah and taichi-ing and cover ass is an extremely valuable skill

like my current role atm, because i am too honest in my work, im always picked on by boss as someone "incompetent" while my other colleagues who are no different but because they pandai make up story they are deemed more "reliable"
