The problem

You're not a bad manager.
You're a busy one.

The tax, itemised.

“New hires aren’t let down by bad managers, they’re let down by the assumption that everything is fine.”

There’s a name for what this costs you: the assumption tax. Every unasked question, every silent struggle, every ‘they seem fine’ compounds quietly until it arrives as a resignation letter in month four. You were always going to pay for onboarding. The only question is whether you pay $99 up front or five figures at the exit interview.
