Ah makes sense. As someone deeply and unfortunately entrenched in middle management, I never think of “boss” and “owner” being the same person, and I know for a fact that my boss is working hard as hell lol
Also technically in a management position, but 90% of my work is what I was doing before the promotion and its not that I’m doing less of that stuff (I’m doing more of it). I just have extra responsibilities like more emails and making sure we have supplies. I hope people don’t really think of me as a “boss.” Given its a small company, my boss is the owner and all the workers were interviewed, hired by, and regularly interact with said person. But I know no one at my job would accuse me of not doing any work.
