I honestly think that being a manager 1st layer is the least enjoyable job in a tech company. So I wouldn't blame them too much since they're already dealing with a bunch of problems: * Managers are easily replaceable because they don't have any expertise but people skills. My grandma has those skills, could she take on a manager role? Of course. * You often get promoted internally to manager. So it's hard for you to move horizontally between different companies since they don't know you. You need to prove yourself again. Plus there is 1 manager job out there versus 10000 dev jobs. * You get away from coding, far away from product then have to deal with expenses, HR issues, infinite meetings, etc.
