You know you have become a 'Manager' when -
- Your first reaction on seeing timelines submitted by your team for any task is that of complete bewilderment
- You try to use your long lost technical knowledge on your team to bring down the effort estimates, but are completely outsmarted by the team by their arguments
- You go ahead anyways and cut down the effort, and tell the team that this is what the client has agreed upon
- Your list of 'Recent Programs' consist only of Excel, PPT, Word, MPP, Acrobat, and Calculator (also Games & IM's, if your company allows them)
- Your anwer to questions on career development by a team member is a cryptic discourse on how great the company is, its vision & values, what all wonderful opportunities it has blah blah .... (all with a straight face) even though you may be serving your notice period with the organization
- Your are able to resolve all the queries of your team members without having any idea of what you just talked about
- You start blogging because the company firewall won't let you do anything else with your time (which you have in abundance as you NEED to sit in front of the computer to give an impression that you are working on something!)
