💡 The Hard Truth About Your “Supportive” Manager

Your manager gave you a raise. ✅

Your manager held one-on-ones. ✅

Your manager gave you career advice. ✅

Your manager supported you. ✅

Then you left for a role that better aligned with your goals… and reached out afterward.

Silence.

Perplexed? Don’t be.

What’s going on is what’s always been going on: it was never personal. It was business.

💰 Raises? Budget allocations.

🏆 Promotions? Proof they had “top talent.”

📋 Advice? HR checklist item.

🤝 Support? Part of the job description.

It was always transactional. Nothing more.

🎯 Takeaway: Don’t confuse professional obligation with personal loyalty.
