Most managers I've known would love to have someone to "believe and trust" to delegate stuff to.

I feel like the micromanaging managers simply don't have enough work to do? I personally celebrate everytime I find a developer who can manage themselves, their work, and if they can also manage the team (at least partly) that's amazing!

Desiring a coworker you can trust and trusting the coworker you have are too very different things.

I'd love to be a good person, but these pies aren't going to steal themselves.
