What I see more often than not is that bad managers come from lazy planning. Bob has been here for a long time now. We should reward him. Hmmmm. What to do . . . oh! Let's make him a manager. That way we have an excuse for a small raise.
Next thing you know, Bob is a crappy manager. Sorry, Bob. The leadership was too lazy to plan out career paths for the people. Now Bob is a crappy manager who will be pushed aside and ignored until he either quits or gets fired.
But now Bob has management experience. What does he do? Go back to doing the scrub work for scrub pay? Hell no. He wants that middle management pay check. Now Bob is going to make a career out of being a bad manager. Because Bob's first managers were lazy.
