In an ideal world, your manager should be someone you admire — someone who shows you the best way to juggle multiple responsibilities, achieve goals, and manage a team. But according to the latest reading of an ongoing query by Comparably, nearly 40% of people say they think they’d do better at their boss’s job than their boss.
Men vs. women
Thirty-nine percent of men said they think they would do a better job than their boss. That compares to 37% of women.
Workers in their 30s and 40s are most confident
Workers 18 to 30 were least likely to say they’d do a better job than their boss, while workers 31 to 45 were most likely to say they’d do a better job than their boss.
Experience doesn’t really matter
It may be logical to think that those respondents with more experience would feel more confident about their ability to do their boss’s job; however, the results show that’s not really the case. From entry-level to those with over 10 years of experience, the rate fluctuated in a tight range (between 36% and 39%).
More than 10,000 people responded to the latest reading, which was Jan. 23.
