What I find absurd is the idea of promoting the best workers into management positions. Hear me out. You have a guy who loves his job, he's great at it and makes everyone around him better. Instead of just, you know, paying this guy more...he gets promoted into a job he's not qualified for and now he manages people that perform the task worse than he could. What's the point? I really dislike the fact that you have to move up instead of just getting more money for being better at your job.
It also assumes that being good at a job also equates to being good at teaching the job. Teaching and management are separate skillets, and they don't come automatically with being good at a job.
Yep. My manager is one of the most talented people that I’ve ever met working in my field. She studied for years to get there, but she was promoted to manager without a single hour of training. She literally cannot give direction. If she wants to change something on a project, she takes it from us and does it herself.

The Corporate Rat Race is just absurd.
