Social media manager buries micromanaging boss in approval requests and business starts to suffer, owner steps in and gives manager more control and a raise: 'The problem is she takes forever to respond'

Being a social media manager isn't just about posting cute photos or funny memes. Okay sometimes it is, but under the surface it's a fast-paced, high-pressure job that often gets overlooked. A lot of people think anyone can run a social media account, but when you're tasked with actually growing a business through these platforms, it's a whole different ballgame. You're not just posting; you're doing marketing, photography, copywriting, video editing, customer service, and analytics all at once. Plus, you have to keep up with trends that change literally overnight. Timing is everything on social media, and if you can't move fast, you'll get buried by the algorithm.
