A good manager is both a coordinator and a filter. They deal with bs rolling down from above and keep their team running efficiently.

A good manager is worth their weight in gold. A bad manager isn't worth their weight in bullshit.

Yeah, our PM is great. Our previous one not so much.

He trusts us but also handles absolutely loads of stuff that we don't want to deal with.

I've also enjoyed the term "shit umbrella" for a good manager.
