Panel 4:

“But you inspire 6 people to work at peak capacity so that the team is as effective as 9 people, and they all say you give a shit about them, their growth, and doing the work that actually matters with guidance and appropriate comp adjustment. Be a manager.”

If you work with incompetent middle management, move. When you work for a great manager in a great team, you feel bulletproof.

I'm a manager, and this strip nicely brought out my main insecurities about the role. Thanks for pointing out that there are other things one may contribute with, despite losing (or never having) abilities in the three mentioned aspects. It's not easy to let go of depth, and exchange it for width and longer term thinking.
