Also "working hard" at your job and managing people are two completely different skill sets

I agree, the hardest/best worker should be group leads or specialists. Managers should manage

Yes. This is correct. Management is a skill usually unrelated to the job that the people being managed are doing. It is a completely different job, fulfills a different role, and assuming that someone who is good at Job A can become a manager is dooming that person to failure (unless they have the proper management training as well). Promoting, say, a really good server to the role of restaurant manager would be just as senseless as promoting a really good server to the role of head chef. There is no reason to assume they have adequate cooking and menu creation expertise as a server, so why would anyone assume they have adequate management expertise? They are two entirely different roles. I hate the mindset that Gen Z seems to have of managers, that their job is just to do whatever the employees don't feel like doing. Oh, you don't want to come in for your shift next tuesday? The manager has to cover it then. You're better at making coffee than the manager? They should be fired then. The manager isn't just there to do all your jobs when you don't feel like doing them.
