Employee finds-out their manager earns a significant salary by delegating work and taking credit for their accomplishments without contributing much, receives witty comebacks on the discovery

Well well well, looks like we've got ourselves a regular workplace detective here. Cracked the big case: managers don't really do much! Quick, someone call Sherlock – let him know there's a new sheriff in town. A genius who figured out that people with fancy titles sometimes… avoid actual work. Shocking stuff.  

Our hero works in a place where the higher-ups have mastered the magic trick of making other people's work disappear into their own promotions. The boss – let's call her the Delegation Queen – gets paid like she's solving world hunger, but her real job is copying emails and saying per my last message a lot. Bra-vo.  

But it doesn't end there. Our sharp-eyed, star employee also discovered that managers enjoy meetings like kids love candy stores and that his boss spends her days watching PowerPoint slides like she herself is on a stakeout, occasionally dropping wisdom like "Let's circle back." Truly, the backbone of the economy.
