What was Slacker Manager?

Slacker Manager was originally started by Bren Connelly, to help him flesh out how to become a manager. He wrote a lot of articles, many of which still get good traffic today because they’re that good.

Eventually, Bren got bored with writing, felt he’d “written out” everything there was for him to write about management, productivity and the like, so he sold the blog to b5 Media.
b5 Media held a little contest to see who would want to blog at this site, taking Slacker Manager in a whole new direction.
And they couldn’t pick just 1 winner…they picked 2.
David Zinger and Phil Gerbyshak (that’s me) were selected as the co-Slacker Managers. You can’t get enough slacking, can you?
About a year after starting, David dropped out and left me alone to do Slacker Manager. That was last October.
That was Slacker Manager. Stay tuned for details of what’s next…
Phil:
It was a treat to work with you. Even if in many ways it was confusing to people how much Bren, You, and I did even though we wrote under the banner of Slacker Manager.
You make it great and all the best in your new directions.
