Go not by what they say but what they do, and I've known plenty who have treated their staff like utter crap, from screaming abuse at them to ignoring them to undervaluing them to psychological bullying and more. I guess all your workplaces must be like heaven compared to what I've seen.

I don't understand where you're coming from. To me it's a decent and useful post and you are just tearing it down for no reason I can see.

It's not useful because it provides empty universally accepted statements (i.e. you don't have to actually have any managerial experience to come up with this list) with no examples of what each means in the context of a relationship with a direct report.
> It's not useful

It was useful to me. And the statements are not empty, not to me at least.

(I'm yet another person, I mean, not GP.)

No, I've never been treated like that at work and I wouldn't take it. But I see where you're coming from.

Regardless, I'd rather you evaluate the post's content on its own merits rather than from your or my personal background.
