[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Managers are not always the best employees and they know it. Often times they are jealous of someone under them that possesses skills they do not. From what I have observed in my companies it can be pure jealousy and fear of being exposed as incompetent.[/quote]

This. 100x this. [/quote]

This is what I've observed most often.

In one case, a bunch of us got a new manager. She was insecure and jealous. We had been a high-performing team who won awards. But, suddenly, we all had a lot of "problems" we had never had before she came along.

At first, I thought she was just targeting me, but then I saw she was targeted a whole bunch of us. I resigned and left. She is gross and sad. I heard later she drove many of the people out and then couldn't meet the revenue goals...She was still there when I last checked.

Companies like bullies and mediocrity even though they say they don't. [/quote]

This is what I can never understand-- why leadership seems to view these awful managers through rose-colored glasses and will never fire them when it becomes obvious they are failing as managers. If an award-winning team suddenly begins to fail under an inept-- and highly disliked-- manager, just MAYBE it's the bad manager who has to go? So sad leadership is blind and opted to keep her and permit her to destroy a good team because.....? [/quote]
