> It stands to reason that if a manager can demotivate you, then they must be able to do the opposite.

You share that with no justification. There's no such "reason".

It would be more useful if you explained why the rest of my comment didn't provide a good enough reason (because of your clear dissatisfaction with the first sentence of it), because this is just snark that doesn't further a conversation.

Anyone can quote a subset of a message and drop a remark without substance after all, but I didn't come on HN to read Twitter-quality stuff.

> There's no such "reason"

You share that with no justification.

  • It stands to reason that if gravity can make things fall down, it can make things fall up.

    It stands to reason that if an earthquake can collapse a building that it can build one.

    It stands to reason that if rat poison can kill rats then it can make them stronger.
