Hiring and managing a team is extremely hard, and can get very stressful. The care and nurturing of organizations, while keeping them productive and resilient to constantly changing environments, is probably the hardest job.

Agreed. This comment sounds like it came from either someone who has never been in a management role before or someone who is on track to be the boss everyone hates because they do none of the work but take all of the prestige.

Anyone who thinks hiring, managing, and retaining good talent is easy has never done it before. Either that, or they somehow have high enough budgets to hire people at $500K/yr and pay them to ignore the bad boss in exchange for fat paychecks.

A manager not doing their job is terrible for the team. It might work for a year but then all the capable devs are going to leave.
