I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

Middle manager.
At least in my current job. There are nice AND useful ones out there, but in my dept., there's positively neither.

The "management" should be seen as positions to help the employees to do their work properly, not to rule over them (but helping would necesarily need to include some level of reviewing the work and if really necesary organize disciplinary measures).

From my personal experience I defintly conclude that a company where the management serves the employees get better results than companies where managment are little wannabee generals.

(I am also currently middle management and hope I do this right.)
