Some people are not cut out for management.
Some people are not cut out for management. As a Marine grunt myself, I've seen leadership that runs the gamut - I go to bat for my team whenever I can, and work with other co-workers to get what they want in a reasonable timeline for all. I also generally advocate for higher salaries for all I choose to hire (higher than the company norm - this is due to my belief that our offers were not competitive enough prior and my desire to normalize the salary gap). I am a lead frontend engineer & math PhD dropout who solicits criticism and graciously acknowledge faults even in meetings with higher managers if my team members bring anything up. I do so because to do otherwise is to create an environment I would hate to work in, and certainly not one where good talent can be cultivated. On the flip side, I worked at one company that had a flat management structure, and there was an Army veteran who by loudness/force of personality forced things onto the team. It became frustrating to work with the person due to no willingness to budge without exhaustive discussions. Even with significant equity, it was not worth dealing with that. Ultimately, the military experience enhances each person's core character traits, for better or worse.
