Do you all see a lot of Manager/Director level people coasting after promotion?? It takes years to even be considered for SM but the firm obviously values you enough to have kept you through manager. Good time for chillin?

Nope. Especially these days, performance matters and tenure doesn’t.

I wouldn’t say “coasting.” There are many of us Managers who work very hard whilst being completely uninterested in promotion to SM.

Firms don’t “value” you if you are coasting. It’s very hard to hide in consulting.

Managers definitely not. At my firm the managers and seniors are the busiest people we’ve got.

Senior managers and directors don’t seem to do anything at all though.

The staff do all the work, the managers do all the managing, and the MDs do all the directing. SMs/Ds seem to just coast and blame others if their coasting causes problems

Need suggestions: So I joined this bank and I was loaned to a different director in my team due to some long term leave for one of his SMs and audit with my director was deferred. The idea was that I would be involved in Fieldwork and take over reporting part. Issue is that I just despise the way this other Director is working. He would assign a task, and then start following up the very next day. And then after I send the document, he won’t even read that for a day!! Contd in comments
