This. If I am handling all the work, what exactly does a manager do?

A manager is supposed to coordinate you and help you be the best you can be. They are not supposed to shape you, only to provide you with the resources that you may need.
And they often don't coordinate and instead choose to criticize because apparently at that level, an engineer needs to figure out "everything".
