Marcus
The First-Time Manager's Mentor
I micromanaged Jira tickets before it was cool.
I got promoted to manager because I could explain databases without slides. Big mistake. I spent my first month either smothering my old coworkers or hiding from the mess I made. Then I grew up — quietly, painfully, and with help from people who didn’t judge me for screwing up. Now I mentor new managers before they make the same mistakes I did. I still kill every basil plant I touch, though.
What I'm Into: dog-eared management books, regret-coffee, Bug’s thirty-minute meeting bark, surviving PIP talks, quiet turnarounds
