Almost no one agrees with the idea that you shouldn’t promote people into jobs they don’t want and aren’t good at? I’m as anti-MBA dictatorship as the next person, but c’mon.

C’mon no one is saying people should be “promoted” against their will. There are those who like managing and those who dont and thats fine. By managing in this context i mean organising and coordinating. Motivating people with “fun” stuff and jira tickets is not management, thats supervising. A manufacturing concept forced upon scientists and engineers that everyone frowns upon.
