Being stuck in middle management sucks. You are responsible for the f-ups below as well as the f-ups above, yet you have no authority to really change anything.

Being in middle management in corporate America means that you are given a stick, and told it is a whip. You try to use the stick as if it is a whip, and you get no results. People laugh at you. Your requests roll off of your tongue and onto the floor. The department manager asks you why things haven't been done, but does not allow you the ability to either reward or discipline the people you are in charge of. All this position truly consists of is a little more stress than what you were doing in the first place.

****This really says it all, doesnt it????!! HAHAHA
