Do you think employees should ask their manager for help at work?

I think employees should definitely ask for help when needed, but they should first try to solve problems independently. That's because constantly relying on managers can slow down personal growth and decision-making skills. For example, when I first started as a UI designer in Shanghai, I'd immediately ask my supervisor whenever I faced a tricky design problem. Over time, I realized I wasn't developing my own problem-solving approach. Now I try to research solutions first, then discuss specific points with my manager. This balance helps me learn while still getting guidance when truly stuck.
