This article is essentially a retelling of this survey: <a href="https://www.visier.com/blog/new-research-individual-contributors-shun-management/" rel="nofollow">https://www.visier.com/blog/new-research-individual-contribu...</a><p>> As a leader in people analytics, Visier wanted to find out how employees actually feel about climbing the ranks. In August 2023, we surveyed 1,000 U.S.-based full-time employees who identify as individual contributors about whether they want to become people managers and their ambitions inside and outside the workplace.<p>How seriously you choose to take these claims probably comes down to the quality of the survey and if you think it's a bit biased since they surveyed "Individual Contributor" who are by definition not on a management track. Personally I'd want to see more and larger surveys with more transparent methodology before I drew any serious conclusions.
