  And a talented manager should know when to say "Ok. I will find somebody else to do it then. For cheaper". You are easily replaceable.

    The kind of manager I’d happily walk from. Either way, I won’t be doing pointless work that inevitably leads to failure - said manager can enjoy their low quality development team and failed outcomes. When the managers bosses see the manager failed a project after firing all the people who said it would fail, it won’t look good for them.

      It's not pointless work. It's actually very profitable work. Low quality or not.
