One of my worst managers ever marked me down in a quarterly review as "Does Not Meet Expectations". Quite a surprise to me. Maybe if she had taken the time to actually meet with me once in a one-on-one meeting at all during the quarter, that information could have been conveyed and I could have taken action to address the issue.

Lesson learned - don't expect management to lead. Over-communicate with management whenever possible, and flee bad management. If possible, seek out the data from HR or others which indicates which managers have high turnover rates.
