I THINK A LOT OF THE ISSUES IN THE INDUSTRY STEM FROM ‘BAD MANAGERS'

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

"Accidental managers" are skilled creatives pushed into leadership roles they never wanted. Career progression shouldn't be tied exclusively to management. Explore alternative paths, seek support roles to bridge team dynamics, and consider leadership training only if it aligns with personal goals. Staying hands-on should remain a valid and respected career choice.
