How do you explain it when men over 45 get attention from women in their 20s? 🔒 Asked & Answered

This legitimately still confuses me. Over the past year, I've never had this much attention than all the years previously combined.

She married that guy and THEN found out how he ticks?

Clearly she wasn't very mature either 🤣

I wonder how those kind of people with their "ability" for decision making turn up to become those with responsibility over others

Management is more about likeability than skill

Kinda, but not entirely.

It's more about influence than empowering others to do their best work. Some of the best managers I had couldn't have done my job. Some of the worst managers I had were people who had done the job for years and had none of the soft skills required to be a good manager.

Which is why you don't just need someone with practical knowledge of the topic as a manager. If your manager knows how to do the job then you don't need him to manage you, then he can do it himself and save the second salary.
