The cynical side thinks of the manager who isn't skilled at retaining 
employees and takes leaving personally - because it'll mean more work for 
them. I've had a couple of those.

That manager was typically great at managing up, not so much with dealing 
with the people underneath him or her.

I've managed technology support teams, and I've appreciated both the career 
people who are happy doing the same thing every day, and people that I've 
known were destined for bigger things. I've had the former who had 5+ years 
experience in a mid-level role, but had built relationships with their 
users and did the job well, and the latter moved on to highly technical 
roles.

The nice thing was that those people moved onto roles in the company I 
worked for, meaning I had someone I could reach out to when we needed to 
work together on something.
