You switch jobs. Of course, there are managers everywhere and of course generally they have similar motivations. However, every once in a while you get one who was a developer-at-heart once (or still is) and does give some amount of shit even when they are looking for their usual goals. If that person doesn't happen to be evil, you stick with that team until things change (maybe the manager moves on). The good thing is that when good managers move, they tend to take the good and trusted ones with them to the new place. Assuming they saw your efforts and value your skills, you can move with them. Alternatively, if they are not the type to do so/you can't move with them, switch again. Either way, side effect is that your pay goes up too due to the switching - just don't do it too frequently.
