Thats thr thought I immediately had and I couldn’t figure out what to say, and then the meeting moved on without my reply.
If I’m being extremely generous, maybe he meant it to be inspiring? Like you can do it without a manager! You are great!
I can’t figure out where he’s getting his management ideas from its all over the board. Oh well most of our clients will be gone by this December, and I’ll be gone by then too so its no bother for me anymore.
Edit to clarify: gone as in getting a new job, sorry if that sounded dark
