As others have said, sometimes it's simply not worth it. A person like the PM sounds like they are isn't going to know truth if it hits them in the face. No matter what you say to them, they simply won't get it. Some people lack any degree of recognizable "emotional intelligence." When you encounter such a person, all you can do is make them pay in other legitimate ways. My favorite is to tell the truth about a place on Glassdoor. By doing so I help other job seekers avoid bad employers, and raise the cost of bad employers doing business. It's the purest form of justice. Personally, I've deeply appreciated a lot of the reviews I've seen of employers on Glassdoor. Just recently, during my last job hunt, I was looking into a couple San Diego companies with promising positions...until I looked them up on Glassdoor. When I saw not one, but many reviews from different reviewers saying such things as "Working for this place will suck your soul dry then crush it" I immediately lost all interest in working for the company. Granted, the Glassdoor reviews aren't perfect, which is why I look for general agreement on the company from different reviewers and/or position titles (as a proxy for different departments of the company).
