Easier for managers to pass the work onto someone else you mean! 
Surely delegation is a big part of a manager's role?
You want to sound ever so slightly insane. Like your safe to do the photocopying, but if you get a bad review you might bring a gun to work.

Actually delegation should be a part of everyone's role.

Are they the ones who all look like victims and tell you you shouldn't eat jelly because the wobbling objectifies women?
