Mostly I like my managers to sort out the financial side of things too. I don't like to be grubbing around customers for invoices or whatever, seems to spoil relationships somewhat. I'm kind of a manager myself to be fair but only in terms of technical leadership.

What I don't like is managers that think it's their job to point at gantt charts and grunt about what you need to be doing. If they are doing their job they'll know what's going on and why we are where we are and not be trying to push you around.
