This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Those who can't do teach, and those who can't teach manage. After working with normal people, teachers and managers I have concluded that managers should be excluded from homo sapiens sapiens. They are more like chimpanzees with some learnt behaviours that they don't fully understand but will perform for a treat.

I don't actually think I know what a manager is. I've always thought it was synonymous with supervisor, but I'm a supervisor and I do all the work the guys I work with do plus the "manager" responsibilities. There is no time where I'm just sitting around sipping coffee or whatever the memes are. I'm building shit and fixing the problems my team come across.

I guess I've just never worked in a place where I've had the kind of management people complain about.
