This Is What It's Like Being The New Boss
"Manager", "Boss", "Supervisor". Titles like these almost appear to us as shiny gleaming trophies to be attained through hundreds of ours of toilsome work and moving up the ranks at one's job. But what happens once you actually get promoted and all of the sudden become a people manager instead of just an individual contributor? As it turns out, being the boss can be twice as difficult, and based on what people had to say, there exists very little preparation and training for this sort of position.

I recently became manager. And I used to be everyone's friend. Now I'm the boss and they clearly don't respect me. So im hiring 2 new people, let the games begin. Competition breeds  success.

I just became a manager of a designer purse store 2 weeks ago. The last 4 days we haven't made a single sale and I'm worried I'll get blamed for it. Nobody is coming on the store or looking to buy!

After a bad injury, I became a manager. I wish I thanked the managers back in hs. There's so much crap they do for you. Moral: Thank a manager. They make do a lot for little credit or notice
