      You deal with the employees’ problems and higher management problems while not being able to influence the company or fully protect your employees.

      This is a terrible position I hope to never be in again.

        If you are good enough at your job and good enough with people, then you’ll get pushed into management again. Realistically it’s a compliment, but I understand the desire to weasel your way out of it, since that has been me too at multiple different times.

      I believe so. Middle management is probably one of the worst positions to be in. No real power to change anything but people do expect it from you.

        A good middle manager will change what they can, and hold the line against the things that they can’t. They will be a bulwark of protection and understanding for those below them.
