“Leaving the manager” is often associated with people leaving because of frustration or other dysfunction. If you’re looking for growth or more pay, that’s fine, but for most people they’re happy to stay in a place that respects and values their opinion/work, even if they’re not getting top dollar. A bad manager is what drives people to the “final straw” that motivates them to look for something else.
