Subject: How do bad managers feel when they make their colleagues' lives a living hell?
I had a manager who literally did nothing all week and then apparently began tackling her inbox late on Friday afternoon. The frantic emails and phone calls from us and her secretary usually commenced around 4:30 on Friday. We were assigned projects that would take us all Friday evening, all weekend. She apparently worked until 11 pm routinely on Saturday night along with her secretary and berated the rest of us for being lazy and undisciplined. In her eyes we were the problem because we didn’t want to work all weekend every weekend. To this day I literally have no idea what she did on Monday through Thursday each week. It was so bizarre and strange and probably cost our employer a fortune since the secretary presumably got overtime for routinely working twelve hours every weekend. I eventually left the organization as did most of my colleagues but to this day I am sure that she still doesn’t recognize herself as the problem.

Plus your family is not their concern.

They believe they are shaping you to be a better employee/asset.
Similar to very strict parents. They believe it's all done to make you a better person. Both refuse to see how it can become toxic and controlling.

So no, they don’t feel bad. My guess is they blame it all on the “bad”

Not everyone

This. Everyone blames everyone but themselves.

Do underperformers know how much they are affecting an individual, a family?
What do you get from being such an obstinate individual and refusing to do your work well?
