Should businesses have dedicated managers or is it a waste of time, space and money?

People get a bit carried away when starting a "company" (if you can even call it that normally it's just a discord server) but anyway LOL uh yeah anyway people are very quick to bring on 7000 managers promote their friends to owner whatever but it's pointless and normally it results in more bad than good. You have all these "Paper weights" doing nothing etc.

From experience there is absolutely no need if the company is small. If you can do the tasks yourself then whats the point lol however as the company grows and actually starts to get somewhere it makes sense to bring someone on.

but never make the naive mistake of recruiting 500 managers 600 founders and promoting your friends to founder++ upon creation LOL

There's no one answer, if you need a manager you need a manager. In my opinion (as a business owner) no one should start out with a manager. Once you get to a point where the management duties are taking too much time and preventing you from getting stuff done you might consider it.

Once you're busy with those duties it's easy to make a list of what you need. I want someone to answer emails, or pay bills, or manage people (especially Greg, he's very needy). You should be telling a prospective employee what you want out of them, not reading through someone's "I'm a manager" post telling you what they can do for you.
