One-sided text that don't nearly speak the whole truth.
It fails to take into account that as a manager you may very will end up with employees that are toxic, disrespectful, cheating, lazy, incompetent, intolerant, unmanageable...
And contrary to popular belief, that it is not always the managers fault.
I had a close relative become a manager, tried their utmost for a year but gave up. It was not worth the sleepless nights, stress, therapy and sitting in the parking lot crying their eyes out after work.
The examples I have seen and heard about in software industry were mostly the other way around. Toxic managers who were clueless about actually managing people and who wanted minions instead of colleagues. I have seen many people leave their jobs because of toxic managers.
