Yeah it's one of those technically true things that gets trotted out a lot to paint a "both sides" type picture. Not sure if that was the other commenters intent or not, but when stated without context it often seems like that's the intent.
I've been very lucky with managers, this sounds like a nightmare. How do they have time for that?
