There is a young man where I work who is a real people person. He is one of my managers. He is unfailingly a nice guy, and always treats the employees he is managing with great respect and kindness.

I am upset that this is happening. There was another guy who recently quit. He was also a people person, working with the same group of female managers. This is not a good trend.
