[quote=Anonymous][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]

Because leadership is just as horrible. Bad management from above hires these pyschopaths for managers then the company gets in trouble. Leadership got there through kissing ass or nepotism not their qualifications or experience necessarily.[/quote]
