When i try to access the employees table for the Northwind database i get an invalid column name error, this column does not exist in the database and i am not sure how it is created or how to prevent it. i tried not to map the generated name but it just increments it
Error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Invalid column name 'ManagerEmployeeID2'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.<>c.b__122_0(Task`1 result)

In Northwind Employees table "ReportsTo" column is the FK (self-referencing constraint) to establish an employee-manager relationship. So your DbContext OnModelCreation method's Employee entity mapping will look like this:
modelBuilder.Entity<Employee>()
.HasOne(x => x.Manager)
.WithMany()
.HasForeignKey(x => x.ReportsTo);
