That's how they behave. As if they are untouchable.
I regret leaving the company I used to work for, because at least there weren't such incompetent managers there.
Honestly, I’m just curious how some of them would get along in other companies.
The biggest mystery to me is why they are so confident that they are untouchable?
Where do they get so much self-confidence while not having competencies they can be proud of?
As long as managers toe the line and drink the koolaid they're safe. As a manager, the training was actually useful and I felt it benefitted me and my team. HR was actually the biggest obstacle at the time when I wanted to make moves to improve morale and the quality of my team's output. BTW my team always rated me highly.
Then there was a re-org and my new manager taught me what a sh---y manager is. I returned to the engineering ladder to salvage my career at GF. Now 2 managers later, my current manager is brand new and is just improvising. It sucks.
Last I checked my old design engineering manager was doing PR videos for their LinkedIn, LOL.
