I was once put in the position of co-managing a single report. Two managers, one of them a first time manager, and a senior report - it was one of the hardest management experiences I've had. I was far easier to manage two parallel teams of 5 than to manage half of one person.

Why did they want you to manage just 50% of a person and were you doing more precisely as a 0.5 people manager? (Eg planning? Or mentoring?) Sounds odd indeed :-)
