I actually really like this. I suffer heavily from Imposter Syndrom, and one of the biggest realizations I had was that my new project manager manages to keep his job despite being absolutely horrible at it.
Allegedly the only way to get rid of imposter syndrome is to just… do your work/stuff until it goes away.
I’ve been at the same job for 9 years, but I don’t feel any more capable than at the start. I still have no idea what I’m doing while being sure others are constantly judging me.
Any day my manager will take me apart to put me on a PIP or outright fire me. I’ve “known” this for years, and I’m as convinced as ever that it will happen eventually, soon even.
Yeah, I’m not sure if it ever goes away… I recently got invited to sit on the national licensing board for my field. I’m literally helping make the test to see if you’re an imposter, and I still feel like an imposter.
Imposter Syndrome is just the flipside of Dunning-Kruger. You must not let it paralyse you but you should know that it is a good thing. You can’t get better unless you believe there is room to get better. And there always is room to get better, so you’ve been on the right track from the getgo.
Seems to be a requirement for managerial positions that you are completely worthless as a person. The majority of management I’ve seen in my time did nothing but actively take away value from the company, the employee’s lives, and the customer’s experience.

The one previous to him was worse.

You are in the perfect position to help your brothers out!
This makes me think of those who design the US immigration forms.
“Are you coming here to commit crimes?”

Me too.
