Judging by the trends observed in the Great Resignation [1] and the popularity of forums like /r/antiwork, it seems that the basics of being a decent human being are often being overlooked by management.
I took a very different interpretation of what facilitating wellbeing looks like than you - interpreting facilitating wellbeing as being flexible when team members need some time to navigate their personal lives, scheduling project timelines and scoping work to necessitate productive work while alleviating burn-out, providing space for people to discuss ideas or provide feedback in a team setting, allowing for growth or transition into roles they may find more interesting or rewarding. Facilitating wellbeing doesn't conflict with making necessary but perhaps unpopular decisions, or de-prioritizing a pet project or whatever - it's much more basic than that.

- redisman 4y agoTech is hardly a paragon of good management. I can count on two fingers the amount of skilled managers I’ve had in my 15 year career. Both got promoted out of line management very quickly because they were too good. Some have been truly terrible and abusive towards their team.
