Interesting, its quite true as i have had some experienced about this. And what make it worst the manager can not accept and agree with you about your resignation. It our life, our future, so we should be able to decide where we go not them.

I thing i learned, even when you are on the right side the higher management will always sided by the manager. Nothing to do just suck up and leave in a good term. Sometimes good term is just no enough if there are personal issues involved. haiya what to do. life goes on.

Prolong the termination period is not gonna solve anything. Resignation of employees already showing something is wrong with the manager. I dont understand why they are willing to keep dumbo/crap/irritating manager.

If you dont know tech stuff is one thing, if you dont know how to manage your staff that is bad. If that person is not performing in management but really excel in tech stuff, just create a new dumbo consultant position so that he/she does not need to manage people, which he/she suck at.

Not just iron fist type, but bias type also the common problem. You have to treat all employee the same treatment. So the employee father is the friend of the owner of company. So what? if he do something wrong as some other colleague dont just simply say "Dont do it again next time ok?". But if it other then the sentence will be ...."What wrong with you?", "As grown up you should act like one" , "Grow up!" and much2 more statement which i can made up easily and this are just the beginning.
