Such a fragile ego. A mature manger should be able to handle a subordinate disobeying without throwing a temper tantrum and firing the whole team and damaging the whole company out of spite.

lol, there are “managers” making 40k a year (with 3 people reporting to them) that have huge egos. It isn’t surprising that world’s richest man child has the ego to match his wealth. Something wrong with society as a whole. People being cruel to each other for no reason, people can’t think/plan beyond the current quarter etc. Everywhere I look, people seem stressed, and they lash out in whatever way they can. Seems like a much bigger problem than Trump/Musk, though they are a big contributor to society’s stress for sure

  When I spend time outside without my phone for a few days it’s amazing how much better things are.

    These people that parent mention do not live in people's phones. They live in people's offices. Not all people have the luxury to just quit working.

      Can confirm, can't say where or when, NDA + non-disparagement. Nice walks help, even so. Absolutely doesn't solve everything, but does help nonetheless.

  >>lol, there are “managers” making 40k a year (with 3 people reporting to them) that have huge egos. Power trip has its pitfalls. It convinces nobodies that they are special. Its one of the big reasons many times the middle managers end behind their reportees. Once you taste power its easy to convince yourself that you are coasting along the path of a guaranteed victory, and winning is a given. There was once this interview of a man I watched who would be around the head of a army, his staff pretty much treated him like a god. And he even got used to that sort of stuff over time. You can't expect good things to happen from there.

I haven't had th misfortune of having such managers myself. But I've been right next door to other managers like this and it's the absolute worse. Even then, a power trip that actually fired hundreds of people on the spot is just ficticious levels of stupidity. It's the exaggerated evil businessman that everyone would laugh at. And musk fits it to a T.
