Maybe I wouldn't even think about leaving if I had a more competent manager. However, I no longer want to work for a person with an over-inflated ego. Basically, a good manager seems to be a rarity here? Does anyone actually have one?

I have a great manager actually. It's the first manager I've had at Schwab that is actually a people manager and not just an extension of the team doing project work.
I actually do have a great manager that fights for us but also challenges us to be better. I have a very high performing team and he is a huge part of that. That said, I don’t think this problem is isolated to Schwab the country is suffering from a lack of good leaders.
My manager is a complete id--t.
You all must work in IOC
There are very few good managers. That is because the managers are almost all mostly excellent managers.
My manager was a mo--n too if I did not know something, I would ask them their reply google it.. Really google it WOW!! He is now gone but left a wake of destruction behind. Reviews coming up and now I find out that I am on probation. New Mgr said I should have been on a plan to watch my progress, so wait this is my fault because the previous Mgr was a complete id--t... WOW the only reason the new mgr looked at my personnel file is because I requested my Sabbatical which was denied. CS has really gone down the tubes. I am sure I will get the ax in 2023. I say it is what it is. Hopeful on to bigger and better things with a better run company.
Totally agree. Current manager is a complete mo--n and dings me for small things while I hold the team together…
I left because my manager was not a fighter for employee (career and pay growth). Not sure what he was to be honest.
