However, here we are talking about at the general level. Not a single instance as your experience.
Engineers are hired for engineering jobs not for manager jobs or mopping the floor.
On the other side, if a lately hired person wasn't find himself comfortable inside the team, I, _as manager_, can always complain the team and accuse them being guilty because they weren't able to say NO at interview level or because they said YES at the wrong candidate. Do you see the faulty thought of our time? I as manager earn a lot for managing people but in reality I download my responsibilities of not being able to interview a candidate and so find the right person _downloading_ that on the team that actually is not responsible for new hired person. Fantastic.
Than's the meal they want you digest in some cultures. In mine, as manager, I decide who is on board, and I clarify clearly the roles of every one. No space for interpretation.
I din't come out from a manager school, but I started from the ground and I put myself _every time_ in the shoes of who is managed by me.
My humble opinion
