Being in management is surprisingly more difficult than it appears to be when you're not in management.

You deal with the employees' problems and higher management problems while not being able to influence the company or fully protect your employees.

This is a terrible position I hope to never be in again.

If you are good enough at your job and good enough with people, then you'll get pushed into management again. Realistically it's a compliment, but I understand the desire to weasel your way out of it, since that has been me too at multiple different times.

I believe so. Middle management is probably one of the worst positions to be in. No real power to change anything but people do expect it from you.

A good middle manager will change what they can, and hold the line against the things that they can't. They will be a bulwark of protection and understanding for those below them.
