Today’s career assumptions are that you can get a lot of development，challenge and job satisfaction and not necessarily be in a management role.
“I hated all the meetings，”says a 10-year award-winning manager，“and I found the more you did for people who worked for you，the more they expected.”
Managing others is always a tough task，but in the past that stress was balanced by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. Along with a sizable pay raise，people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive private benefits：company cars，club memberships，plus the key to the executive washroom.
But in today’s global，more competitive showground，a manager sits in an insecure chair. Restructuring has removed layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of talents rather than hierarchies(等级)．
There are far fewer steps for managers to climb. Also，managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim，if any，financial paybacks and perks.
Now managers must manage many people who are spread over different locations，even over different continents.They must manage across functions with say，design，finance and marketing.
In an age of entrepreneurship，when the most praised people in business are those launching something new，management seems like an invisible，thankless role.Employers are looking for people who can do things，not for people who make other people do things.
In addition，the Dilbert factor is at work.With Dilbert’s popular cartoon character as well as many television situation comedies routinely describing managers as fools or enemies，they just don’t get much respect any more.
Moreover，it may not pay to be a manager at least not the way it once did. Ms. Chmielewski says，“The emotional rewards can be great，and there were times I enjoyed management. But a 10-to-11-hour day and one weekend day a month is the norm.”
With more people cautious of joining management，are corporations being hurt or worrying about developing future leaders？Not many are. While employers have dismissed a lot of managers，they believe many more candidates linger on at many companies. “Another reason companies aren’t short of managers，”argues Robert Kelly，a business professor，“is that so many workers today are self-managed，either individually or via teams，you don’t need a manager.”
1．By writing the passage，the writer seems to________.
A．explain reasons for firing managers
B．advise people not to become managers
C．express dissatisfaction of some managers
D．encourage managers to be more competitive
2．Compared with the past，the managing job today is more ________.
A．demanding B．rewarding C．questionable D．acceptable 3．The author mentions what Ms. Chmielewski says to reflect that ________.
A．the managers’ low working efficiency makes them less paid
B．the gain of being a manager is not as satisfactory as before
C．she enjoys great emotional rewards of being a manager
D．she misses the past enjoyment of being a manager
4．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Managers have more chances to be promoted now.
B．Managers were not satisfied with the way they were treated in the past.
C．It is unnecessary for a qualified manager to manage a variety of fields.
D．The cartoon character made by Dilbert contributes to the bad image of managers.
5．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．More and more people are eager to become managers.
B．There will be more managers to be employed in the future.
C．Employers think it easy for them to find managers in the future.
D．Teamwork makes it possible for companies not to hire more managers.
