So about a year ago I quit my job at a major corporation. The reason I quit was a combination of things but by far the biggest reason was that management sucked. Right before Covid hit there was a big re-org and two departments that were mostly separated before were combined. Instead of using one of the two previous Sr. Managers to lead this new department, upper management pulled in a new person from outside the company. Now this guy had been in the industry a while so he had great technical knowledge but had no knowledge of how our internal systems work. As a result he would ask us to do things that, while not a bad idea, we had no way to reasonably accomplish. We would tell him that's not how that works here and get responses back like, this is how we do things now!! Anyway I had finally had enough and left a year ago, and from the looks of things on LinkedIn, many of my coworkers followed suit. I was talking to a colleague a few days ago who recently got a new job and he gave me little inside information that I will cherish forever.
Apparently so many people quit and told HR that the new Sr. Manager was the reason they were quitting that HR forced him to move to a different department so they would stop hemorrhaging talent. We're talking like 12 out of 24 people in the span of 3 years.
Amazing that you can be so bad at your job that half your team quits and you don't get straight up fired.
Keep up the good work r/antiwork and don't let shitty bosses get away with stuff.
