Bro, reframe this "I have so many entrancing growth opportunities for my attention that I find it hard to take value from someone else's experience".
Really, his bullet points are pretty basic management 101 - - but most managers don't know them and if it helps even one person be a better manager it's worth this time.

#8Always remember: as a manager you are still an employee, and you are still required to observe the law.
Being a manager does not mean you are correct by default. It does not mean you cannot receive feedback from your managees.
Also, a brief refresher: lying about someone is defamation. If you defame people's performance and cause them to lose money you are personally liable for damages.
We should sue managers more, when they indulge in bad habits such as lying about performance and making false accusations.
Some managers realize that their opinion is authoritative truth and abuse this to fork reality, creating a psychopathic fiction where everything they say is true.
We should sue each and every of these entitled tyrants.

Break the spirit of people that think lying has no consequences. Teach them a lesson, that they live in a country with people protected by rights.
