I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too.

Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch. If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.

What are the chances that your entire engineering team is entirely composed of low performers or people with bad attitude or whatever you designate as "fucking morons"?

It's more likely that you are bad at managing, growing and motivating your team.

Even if it was true, to refer to your team in this way makes you look like you are not ready for management.

Your duty is to get the most out of the team, and that mindset won't help you.

Don’t agree. Sometimes you can observe the world around you, and it’s not pretty. Are they not allowed to observe the truth as they see it? What if they are right?
