Since someone already said HR: Middle management. I don't want to be making life changing decisions for other people at the behest of what someone else thinks shareholders want.
I have seen some people in some of my jobs where they desired to be in middle-management, to swear that they wouldn't be the uptight asshole boss to everyone. The sad reality is, is that management wants to train you to be an unreasonable hardass on people. If they feel you're too lax, then you're not going to make it. Which is fucking telling of itself with why management of all levels is so hated.
Yuuup. I've helped train a lot of the current supervisors at my job, so they're comfortable telling me about a lot of things. Plus I was being prepped to become a supervisor for a bit, and it's... Not great, to say the least. I've seen people with hearts who've been changed a lot by management. Even worse when they go farther up the ladder.
For a while it wasn't even about the money, since every position in the building paid the same. Moving up often came with a pay cut because of salary, and a different bonus structure. Kinda made me realize how little I wanted to be involved with any of it.
