notyourwork··on Career Development: What It Means to Be a Manager, Director, or VP (2015)
Its a good example to call out but it should be obvious to anyone genuinely considering the transition. Managers are there to manage people, the job is easy when the teams awesome and the jobs hard when the team isn't awesome. This includes poor performance, attrition, and people drama. All things that come with the territory of managing humans.

notyourwork··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
Pardoned from the crimes convicted of? Or pardoned from any crime. I found the Biden pardon to be particular egregious because of how vague it was.
notyourwork··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
