Does anyone have someone at their company who sits around and delgates tasks but isn’t actually a manager? I’ve always seen this person give out tasks to other people but do none himself - how do you approach this situation?

I probably wouldn't if there was even the slightest chance of retaliation. It's my job to do the work I'm given and go home, not try to solve poor management. If it was extremely problematic for me or the team, I might approach someone above them with my concerns.

That’s a good idea, definitely worth mentioning to someone higher up.

I think you should discuss this behavior with the actual manager. If they are overstepping their role and not actually working, it needs to be addressed by somebody who actually has a title.

Unfortunately this has already been brought up to their manager but I might raise it further as nothing got done, very frustrating!
