Of course, I wouldn't want to generalize because there are certainly good managers here. However, what I have noticed is that most of them deliberately do everything to undermine the confidence of talented employees, to make them feel as if they do not know how to do their job well. When these employees finally decide to get out of this place and go to another company, they progress very quickly. How many cases do you know of people who were almost invisible here, but later made a huge progress in their careers in other companies? I know many of them.

I left oracle for a role I don’t like but I’m good at. Easily going to make 50k more than I did ever working at oracle. I do work more but no pathetic manager holds me back. That’s like stuff you deal with as a teen. I’m still in tech. Major cybersecurity vendor. Of our Fortune 500 companies running our stuff on cloud…99% AWS. We don’t even talk about Oracle.
Mgmt will be replaced. It's too costly to have negative mgmt.
Yes, just play the game. Like palming your meds at the mental asylum.

My manager tries these tricks every week. Those Jedi tricks don't work on me!
When the tricks don't work, the layoff is the answer. Managers don't like to work with employees they can't trick. Makes them feel d-mb and they don't like that.

Yup. I nearly took a pay cut leaving this place. Then I realized that I was worth more. I will never forgive my manager, but I've landed in a better spot. Now I'm there and they remain in he-l.
But look at Larry and what he has achieved.
Relational databases spck.
Fuzzy databases make all the money now.
Re: destroying your confidence
That only works if you suffer from the Oracle Doormat Principle
