You know what’s great about hiring more folks to help you do your work? Getting things done quickly and efficiently.

You know what sucks when your role becomes managing those other folks? Feeling like you’re completely useless.

I’m already falling out of the loop on several items here at work, and it’s driving me nuts. My value is my creativity in testing, not my ability to maintain schedules for others or make charts in Excel.

I am not of the mindset that finds shifting resources satisfying. Bleh. If it weren’t for the fact I was getting a promotion for taking on this role, I’d probably tell my boss to find somebody else.

Of course, I’m no good to this company if I’m bored and/or frustrated. I have no idea what to do.
