is it me or is everyone some sort of manager at work?

[Alone]

I'm a lowly private in a great big army. I assure you, I manage nothing.

I posted this before but my boss said I was "lower than whale shit in a hole at the bottom of the ocean". I therefore, am no manager. We only have an owner and workers. I guess the closest thing to a manager is probably one of the 5 or 6 secretaries.

How about a "Project Manager"?

Should I change my title to server manager?

Then you're probably managing a bunch of teams to achieve some sort of goal. I don't see how you can be a project manager and not have a bunch of people working for you.




Around here it's...


SVP -> EVP -> VP -> Director -> Manager -> Supervisor -> Senior -> Maggot

My boss is a jewish carpenter and by carpenter I mean heartless lawyer.

Went to a school district to do some IT work. Everyone in IT was some kind of a manager. Reason for that was, if you the word manager in your title, the contract requirement of only being allowed to work M-F 7-5 did not apply. So they could work nights, weekends, holidays, etc. School districts have strange work requirements.

I'm a case manager and I don't have anyone under me, but there's no other accurate title to reflect what I do.

I worked for a large company which had to implement this as an across-the-board non-negotiable HR job policy. Prior to the policy, they had all kinds of mgr's running around w/ no people under them. Fewer mgr's = big savings in salary.
