I think he should leave if he can, not to punish the manager, but in order to not punish himself. I think managers should be wise this is their job, and developers don't need to make their job easy, they earn a lot of money anyway. I see this trend lately where developers suddenly need to make everybody's job easier. Now developers need to make the HR people understand that... they need to make the stake holders understand that... etc etc Really? Many programmers I know are very frugal and some single, and some are very resilient so they need to make a lot of people understand that there are limits and boundaries someone should not cross and that everybody should do their work. Developers cannot do qualitative development in sweatshop environment.
