I don't think this is necessarily true for part-time managers -- those folks that have productive work to do, but also have a team of people to do formal paperwork, timesheets and such for. If you don't tell your management that you're unhappy, you're bound to remain unhappy because your management may not notice that you're upset, at least not in a specific way. Being given a clear problem, "I'm unhappy because of _____," gives us an actionable goal to work toward to making your work life more enjoyable. Management aren't mind-readers, and it's particularly frustrating when you ask an employee if anything is up and they say "no," when you know there is an issue.
