Modern management is big part of the modern “labor shortage”

From what I’ve seen at my own work, friends telling me, and just reading about on here, modern management is a huge problem as to why people don’t want to work currently (wages aside). Management seems to just be getting more and more insufferable the longer it goes on. I see it/hear about it time and time again. Good workers getting screwed over concerning hours, promotions, workload, etc, workers who should have legitimately gotten fired slide by”due to being short handed” leaving the workers who do do their jobs properly disgruntled and not uncommonly quitting, making changes to how things work regardless of employee feedback, practicality, or even having literally zero understanding of how what they are changing works, etc. For example, I’ve been at my current job for over a decade.

From what I’ve seen at my own work, friends telling me, and just reading about on here, modern management is a huge problem as to why people don’t want to work currently (wages aside). Management seems to just be getting more and more insufferable the longer it goes on. I see it/hear about it time and time again. Good workers getting screwed over concerning hours, promotions, workload, etc, workers who should have legitimately gotten fired slide by”due to being short handed” leaving the workers who do do their jobs properly disgruntled and not uncommonly quitting, making changes to how things work regardless of employee feedback, practicality, or even having literally zero understanding of how what they are changing works, etc. For example, I’ve been at my current job for over a decade. Ran as perfect as possible for the first 11 year. Que year ; new management. Suddenly, accountability turns to dust, policies and bonuses start changing for the worse that start causing people to quit, management no longer works with the workers but now run a “if you don’t like my way then quit” way, telling people they’re doing things wrong immediately after admitting they have no idea how operations run, making more work for the dedicated workers so the managers and worse workers do less then causing a fuss when those overburdened worker complain until they quit, etc. And I’m hearing stories like this from all over; if management lets things fall apart, no crap people aren’t going to want to work even if the pay/benefits are decent, and people are finally starting to realize this and not want to work in toxic environments. (P.S. Sorry for the rant, just off from another regular 13 hr shift so kind of out of it)
