> imagine managers are not in fact all stupid for a second

I don’t really see where the commenter implied this.

To support their stance, I have also had lots of managers at various-sized companies (FAANG incl), who didn’t understand the inherent 1:1 power dynamic. They would expect full honesty, while covering up anything above my pay-grade.

"Stupid" is a pretty accurate description for someone who thinks something lazy and misguided is accurate and clever.
