Hi,

 

This type of relationship is a special lookup relationship available only for the user object. It allows users to use a lookup field to associate one user with another that does not directly or indirectly refer to itself. For example, you can create a custom hierarchical relationship field to store each user's direct manager..

Useful answers so far. Did my own research confirming all of the above:

Manager field:
  • Establishes a hierarchical relationship, preventing you from selecting a user that directly or indirectly reports to itself.
  • Allows Chatter to recommend people and records to follow based on your org's reporting structure.
This field is especially useful for creating hierarchical workflow rules and approval processes without creating more hierarchy fields.

Note
Unlike other hierarchy fields, you can inactivate users referenced in the Manager field. "
