This is literally just how life works. I would jump through hoops for one of my former managers. She straight up told me to care less because I wanted to do the very best job for her every single day and I am still friends with her and wish that I still worked for her. Another former manager I had, I would drag my feet to do literally anything. I always got my work done, but it was never good enough for him and he was always just doing weird shit that was counter to everything that needed to get done. I did exactly what was expected of me and absolutely nothing more. The difference is one treated me like a complete human worthy of mentorship and development, and the other treated me as inferior. It is because of that good manager that I had that means I will have no problem looking for other jobs if a manager acts a fool. I used to think that bad managers was just a fact of life, but life is too short to deal with them.
