Oh no.
Mr Charles Montgomery "Monty" Burns if anyone.
So play my statement back in his voice and you would be closer.
From most episodes he's portrayed in he's the useless, senile, corrupt boss with a boyfriend. Ok, you called it
(I'll give credit at ruthless).
All banter aside - management is fine for those that prefer to go that way. I tend to be a bit too interested in how stuff works/is put together/etc to be able to remove myself far enough. I'd much rather get better technically so my skills are valuable than go the management route.
My currently specialism is Oracle DBA. While my salary is fairly modest for the trade (still quite reasonable for my age) the very highest points of the skillset are currently commanding around £120k (contract) salary with 70+ being quite reasonable.
Now management wise, fine, you may still be taking home a far greater reward. Alternatively you COULD be a banker and keeping quiet so the rabble don't start complaining
still, I'd rather keep the interest in the technical bits. It lends itself well to sparks of creativity that can lead to products and wealth by other means. My minds generally kept quite active and I have to puzzle my way out of technical problems rather than more political ones. I can do dealing with people too for the record, just prefer my line of work.
Yes, I've had the management option before too, technical is much more fun.
