What about managers who simply don't manage? I've had several of those. One would cover up failures by lying - since the company was a dot-com startup with nepotism and many employees who had all previously worked together, he easily got away with it. Another one, managing a department of 60-70 people in a large corporation, couldn't even enforce basic professional courtesy and workplace safety. It was at the time an old-style office with hallways, floor to ceiling walls, and 3-person offices with doors. Yet for several years, employees got used to just shoving their old junk (manuals, non-working computer hardware, file cabinets, storage boxes) into the hallway. The manager just ignored it, and since it was the kind of company where employment was close to civil-service style, none of his bosses ever did anything about it either.
