> A lot of managers are both highly paid and truly bad. I think a lot of businesses don’t do as good of a job vetting EM hires as they do SWEs the EM will manage.

From my vantage point as an engineer it also seems like what qualifies as "good management" is hard to pin down because not only is it difficult to quantify in the first place, but it also varies between teams and organizations… a management style that worked in one team and company might fly like a rock elsewhere. If that's true, it'd make vetting managers challenging even if the business in question is trying to vet them as well as they do engineers.
