I think the problem is that there's a difference between a good manager and a manager who keeps their job.

I had one that fired everyone he hired, I was the last one and one other guy, I got the can for sticking up for the other guy, and the other guy got a demotion. Eventually when things at the company were bad enough the manager got the can with a ton of other managers.

My friend who is still there says this is his last ever programming job, after that manager he wants nothing to do with this industry, and that is a shame.
