Aw poor babies, thoughts and prayers

To be fair, some organisations put under-qualified people in middle-management type positions without the support or resources to effectively do their job, and even actively direct legitimate employee frustration to them when it’s concerning problems they have no agency over. These organisations also actively push employee/union-sympathising managers out of these roles, further narrowing the chance of a capable manager.

So you end up with either malicious middle managers or inept middle managers. Both types should quit the role - the former won’t because they love it, the latter won’t because they too inept to realise they should.
