Some development jobs are to be avoided - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) MathWorks

Some development directors regularly put down and treat subordinates poorly They get away with it, because there is a culture of looking the other way when they act this way. This is not across the board, but there are some VERY bad apples, and it really affects the whole management chain, because the managers are walking on pins and needles trying to not rile up these directors who have short triggers. They preach respect and invest, but that seems to only hold true at the lower levels, and it is not true for how management treats its reports.
