Employee confronts boss about her inability to keep office morale up, boss refuses to listen, claiming employees are happy as long as they don't quit: ‘That's her metric'

Being a manager is more than just completing tasks and making sure the higher-ups are happy, which is something everyone seems to understand except managers. Even though the task of managing employees is literally part of the job title, managers are always inclined to neglect that part, and completely ignore their employee's needs.

Every once in a while, a brave employee will feel the need to correct this problem, and they will go as far as confronting their bosses about their lack of leadership and care for the people they manage. An attempt that usually ends with a failure, but it is still nice they tried. It's important that managers will be exposed to criticism, even if they choose to ignore it. At least it shows that someone in the office still cares about keeping the office morale up.

The employee in this Reddit story confronted their boss about this exact thing, and their reaction, while not surprising, was quite tone-deaf. Keep scrolling to read the full tale.
