A Back Seat Manager is a toxic employee who does not have any authority and continually over inserts themselves on every process and decision that impact everyone else except themselves.
Johnny was quite the back seat manager in today's staff meeting
When a manager is reactive instead of proactive.
A manager that is a pussy and can't stick to a plan because he buckles under the pressure of others.
When your manager doesn't have the balls to look you in the eyes and tell you he is getting ready to stab you in the back because he is putting another job in front of yours to appease someone else.
This is nothing but Voodoo management because you are changing the schedule just to appease others.
The procedure most levels of management endure at an off site meetings. In atition, they learn to loudly yet privately critizise a coworker, and excell at accepting alll the kudo's for others work, that made them look good.
Strangely these empty paychecks are also immune to productivity dowsizing.

Specializes in micromanaging, ignoring staff requests, and implementing pointless policies. Often found hiding in their office during rush hours and taking credit for the team's hard work. The main talent lies in creating a stressful work environment while pretending to be indispensable.

Early Grave Management/ E.G.M
The act of commanding others to do tasks while you yourself never contribute no matter how easy or hard the task is.
People that are managering also tend to waste more time getting other people to do work than just doing it themselves.
While the term usually applies to actual managers of jobs (hence the name), it can apply to anyone outside the workplace.
Example 1
Employee: You called me over here sir?
Manager: I need you to clean up this spill
Employee: But you are already holding a mop and paper towels. You could have done this yourself much quicker than the time it took me to respond to you. Instead of managering why don't you do some work yourself because I don't see why the company needs someone like you.
Example 2
Mom: Go vacuum the floors they have been filthy all day. It's like you don't ever help around the house.
Child: Mom, I just got home from school, why could you not do it?
Mom: Unlike you I am busy almost all day doing chores and working 8 hour shifts.
Child: Mom, you have been on this couch watching Sex and the City since I left for school and you are still watching it.
Mom: ...
Child: Instead of managering could you help out while I'm busy?
