Any thoughts about my realizing I don't want to become a manager?

[Anonymous]

I used to want it secretly so bad. But today I realized... Nah. I just want to become a mom and stay at home wife as i have for ages... I just put that desire and dream in the back of my head because i dont know any men who are good and want that and pursue me. So i figure i have to wait until it randomly happens one day and until then just try to climb the career ladder just to support myself and have security. But i dont know if i can do that manager thing. It seems like it would take even more of your life from you than just being an employee does. I work in retail. I work so much.

I feel like this workplace is a matrix. An imaginary world that exists in itself and once I leave work everyone from work is part of that matrix and that matrix cannot exist on the outside.

So im starting to feel like my workplace is fake. Sorry may this is too existential. I really am just tired of this phony world you know? I want to be a mother and wife at home. The workplace i NOT the place for me.

As for thinking about joining management more power to you & anyone who wants to go into it or is in it or wants to try it out as well. As a manager if you are getting paid hourly I say go for it because you can make overtime if your company needs you to work extra hours. On the other hand if you are a manager & you are getting paid salary you are going to get fucked in the asshole, work extra hours & not get paid for it.

Stay away from Salary trust me!

You made the right choice on not becoming a manager by the way.

Why? Even an hourly one?

Do you agree with a woman being a housewife?

I agree with a woman being a housewife only if she wants to & financial is I able to.

If you want to be an hourly manager it’s a lot better because you will actually get paid hour for hour but the second you agree to salary good luck.

Everyone should do with their life something that fills them with a feeling of purpose. If being a housewife fills you with purpose do that but being a housewife has its own issues as all life paths do. Make sure that you know the issues about becoming a housewife and prepare yourself to avoid them the best you can. Maybe ask housewives that you know for advice and read books about becoming a housewife to prepair!

[Asker]

What issues would those be? Or are you just saying a general statement about every life path?

There's nothing wrong with that see some people feel that they just need to be in charge just because that's what they want control and Authority. Personally I personally cannot stand Authority and don't believe in the legitimacy of authority so there's no way in hell I would want to become part of the problem

I managed a department for many years. I just want to do technical stuff now; I don't want the headaches anymore. It won't pay as much but I don't care.
You have to do what works for you.
