In my experience I often see managers doing more work then their reports. More junior people play a role but for better or worse the more senior people are the ones who know how to perfect the work, get all the details right, sell it through internally and externally, etc.
And because budgets and timelines have shrunk, there’s just not enough time or flexibility to let a junior team work and revise based on feedback, until they get it right.
That's definitely not how it's supposed to work. I mean, don't get me wrong, I believe those in leadership roles should be willing and able to pitch in and pull weight when need be, but not as an everyday rule. Sounds like your agency might either be short staffed or simply run poorly.
Namely 9 times out of 10 short staffing or because strategy is “expensive” PMs will staff someone senior to get the job done quick rather than put it on a junior with my oversight. I’m at VP level and writing briefs more often than not and I’d prefer not to at this stage of my career.
I worked for someone with major imposter syndrome tho who picked and chose projects they could flex to leadership on and ducked out when the going got real rough.
Oof no, not more work, just different work.
That’s def an issue with staffing or not trusting to delegate work to the staff you have. (Or not training them enough to do the work well)
LOL.
Currently in this position bc of staffing, we’ve had LOTS of turnover. trying to tread water with an assistant who is very new and therefore too green to do lots of the work for the roles in between mine and their’s. it’s a struggle. Pls help lol 🥺
Some people are just workaholics and want to learn and progress as much as they can.
