Why is a manager 360 not a mandate during HPD? Bad people managers should be trained or consistent low performing managers moved to an individual contributor role. Employees leave their managers rarely their jobs!

These managers can’t make decisions by themselves, either incompetent or scared to be punished for making a decision their boss wouldn’t like, it takes a special type of person with low empathy and intelligence to stay on the job, they only protect their paycheck but they too will get betrayed by their own environment they help create
Like many things, 360 review is one of the check boxes for the managers. I have not seen any improvement in any manager after their 360 review is done.
more often than not managers are stuck doing their best whilst the sh*te pours down from above.
In the end it becomes a waste of time trying to build a team when your efforts are undermined by the many clowns above you - far better to stay out of people managing positions if able to.
If you're asked to do a 360, start updating your resume.
Honeywell leadership doesn't care how people managers treat their employees. They just want them to push you harder to either get more done or quit. A bad manager that has employees quit might be a keeper in leadership eyes. The goal of leadership is more cash (for them) through less expenditures. Also, why would bad leaders care about bad managers? Managers just trying to conform the the message being flowed down. Like the survey we just did; Employee responses ignored, leadership has their own agenda. Same with the joke town halls, there's no talk about any real issues. And your review - at standard again.
Managers have nothing to do with real work. The recent realignment in aero to make managers into indirect charge was just another move to identify the waste.
"consistent low performing managers moved to an individual contributor role"
NO! The reason they are a manager is to get them out of the way and stop them from screwing up the real work!
360’s are sometimes listed as one of the goals in their HPD. Usually pops up every once in a while, but obviously not enough or at all in some circles.
You sound like a HR new hire just out of training. There are no real managers anymore, and noone cares about their "People Manager" because everyone knows that their job is simply to "report the weather" on behalf of the company.
The extent that anyone cares about their "People Manager" is to stay off their radar when they are selecting employees to meet PIP quotas.
