What are some moments when you got emotionally touched by your manager or are they all assholes ? 😒
Probably should get HR involved.
Jokes aside... I was impressed when my manager said "You could have negotiated better when you joined, but here's a nice TC bump that I was able to get VP approval for. "
My manager kept me quitting secret till my visa got transferred. He was sad to see me go, but supported my decision to move on.
Never worked for an asshole. But if is very difficult (for me) to differentiate between manipulation and actual support/emotional connection. So now only really respond to actions.
No, they are not all assholes. I have some that I am still very good friends with, even if we parted our ways. It is just as simple as being treated with integrity and as a human. That said, I have also ran into incredible bullshit, nepotism, insecurities and politics. This seems to be even more of a trend as I’ve grown into seniority - many seem to be afraid of people who can outperform their bosses.
A touching moment I can recall - our site was slowly being shut down, and in the end, my boss had to fire me and all of the team I was leading (and 90% of the other teams as well). I got a transfer to another site and thus hung around for some months till the legalities were being cleared, and during that he had to fire the remaining 10% or so and be fired himself. After that, he pulled me into a small room and gave a long, deep rant about how he’s fed up with all the bs that is going on. He just wanted to let it go for once himself too.
