> In my experience the bad managers are constantly trying to impress their bosses and curry the next promotion.

Heh, I'm a worse manager. I keep trying to impress the people I manage. Working on the mama bear part though.

That's frustrating that you've only had one manager whose calendar was viewable by their team. That's the norm all up the chain of the current place I work. I think it was like that previously too.

I like that your manager had _you_ make the meetings for them after sending all the materials to prep for it. I get the feeling that several times that resulted in solving the problems asynchronously instead of actually having the meeting.
