This is one of most common reasons to leave a job; unfortunately no one will acknowledge or admit it.

I wanted to succeed in my previous company and built rapport with my manager and other team mates. We had a reorg, and another developer from another vertical joined our team. He was not interested in coding and would not code review any code. I called him out once during a pairing session but he went defensive. He took up minor task and passed the buck around. At any rate, to my dismay he was promoted as our manager in a few months. Needless to say he would retort to berating me and other team members.

I left the job without trying to burn bridges. On the last day, he called me out during the standup and "hoped he would get hard working team members in the future"

Almost all of my team mates left the job or have moved to other teams.

It's amazing how some manager's words can have such an impact on a team.
