Clearly it wasn’t. The original post showed one manager being an asshole. OPs follow-up is that all managers are assholes. The leap and logic there is a relatively stupid way to view the world. It’s the same logic that says my sister is bad at driving, therefore all women are bad at driving. If you or the op want to have an immature view of the world, that’s your prerogative, but I’m interested in understanding at least the first level argument to be made for why all managers are bad.
My last manager was great. Never told me how to do anything and basically kept me insulated from the higher-ups so I could get shit done. His only negative was that as a former dentist he kept telling me I should floss more.
I’m a manager, why am I a bastard?
I was a manager. It made me a bastard. I went back to coding.

Manage these nuts.
You seem to have a very immature view of life.
Yes.
If you were a good manager you would have the skill to successfully manage that and everyone would be happy
I think our stance was clear

I love my manager, she’s awesome

Imo, it can be generalized that most people in power are asshats because the only people that want to wield power do so for all the wrong reasons
Personally, were I to be a manager, my reason would be money.
My manager recently denied some of my PTO requests, so whatever you just said (I didn’t read it) doesn’t count and all managers are bastards. QED.
Because they ask obvious questions to make people feel stupid.
