Was just told by a manager "I was going to work on it, but wanted to give you the experience" yeah, ok. 🙄

Stop complaining, other side to this, he could also not have you do it and do everything himself and you'd get zero experience or very little diversity. Perhaps this is something that is repeated often though by same manager...

Depends. I've given tasks to my reports knowing that it's not in their normal responsibilities or comfort zone. It's an opportunity for them to learn on the job, ok to make mistakes, and with someone to give them guidance. Sometimes I'll even parallel the work so if the attempt fails so badly or they get completely lost - I can still show an example and deliver on time to the client.

This was clearly a toss over the fence activity - I'm not new to my job or the task. You should call a spade a spade and not try to fake a desire to develop someone on some mundane activity.

I see where you are coming from now. Being assigned/sold work as an opportunity for growth when it's simply a rudimentary task is annoying.

Why are you upset at the situation though? Does the manager suck and that's why you are doing the work or are just upset at getting more work?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
