When it comes to their boss's odd behavior, this person writes that they "just figured it out" after five years.
As a manager, you have tons of responsibilities. It's can be a lot of pressure — you have to answer to your own bosses while managing a bunch of people. You have to know how to prioritize, picking the most important tasks and getting to those first. And you also have to be cautious what you say to the employees who work underneath you.
In the comments, several people noted that as a manager, sometimes you have to do things that would be impossible to explain to your team. It might not always make sense to them right away, but maybe years down the line they'll understand. And, as many employees know, not every manager has your back. You may never know what your boss was really planning, unlike this person.
