Some managers are harsh, but some employees won't do the job correctly. Who is right usually? There was an angry manager episode today at my graveyard shift job and I suspect people not getting enough sleep is why some people's job performance is down.

In a perfect world, a manager will have your back and make the job fun. Sadly, corporate roll down of crap tends to strain management and turn the low level of things into poison. I've had my shares of good and bad managers.

What is one example of each type?

Good mangers support a person while having their back, encouraging them no matter the situation and protect them from bad interactions.

Bad managers are those who do nothing, bark orders and make someone fear going into work.

I think the barking is pointless and it emasculates grown men, so unless the situation is basic military or police training, I see it as pointless. Bottom line, people can either do the job without barking or they should leave.
