• Managers like this guy, who are so easily threatened by competence, tend to know deep down that they are not very good at their jobs themselves. Otherwise, why would they be so offended by someone else's idea in a meeting?

  It turns out that this manager was wasting a ton of company resources in micromanaging this author and in making it seem like he was not capable of meeting expectations. 

  Thankfully, this growing obsession that the manager had with making the author look bad did not take away from the fact that the manager himself was failing to meet the expectations that his bosses had of him.

  This meant that before the author even got the chance to make a case for himself to human resources or to the folks at the senior leadership level, the manager was punished for his own insufficient work performance.
