Comment on Ask HN: My manager is bad. Should I care?

Comments

First, I think it's always good to detach yourself to some extent. It sounds like there's nothing you can do, so that limits how much you should care. No sense giving yourself heartburn over something you can't affect, after all.

Since this is a problem you can't really fix, the thing I would ask yourself is if it makes your day to day so miserable that you would rather quit your job. That's hard for me to give advice on because it's a personal call. I have had some bad bosses over the years and I just gritted my teeth and put up with it because the job had other redeeming qualities I liked. Maybe that's the case for you, maybe not, but it's worth thinking about.
