Managers are a core component of the Fundamental Gameplay of Idle Miner Tycoon. They automate your working process and grant certain bonuses that can be activated for a short time. You can purchase managers once your first Mine Shaft reaches level 5, beforehand you need to manually manage your workers.
There are separate managers for your Elevator, Warehouse and Mine Shafts. Managers are available in three different ranks: Junior, Senior and Executive. Their abilities increase with each rank, so using Executive managers in your most productive Mine Shafts as much as possible is sensible.
