why all managers need to be suck ?

Not sure how far along your career you are, but all managers certainly don't suck, there are good ones out there.

If you already have a long career with lots of different managers, and 100% of them suck, I'm afraid the problem probably lies with you.

There are so many variables it can be hard to say. I've had the fortune to have some great managers over the years.

However the country you work in and your industry means that the great:shit manager ratio can vary pretty wildly.

They don't. The majority of managers I've had in my career have been fine to great. I've probably only had one genuinely bad manager. However stories about about perfectly competent managers who simply manage their teams to successfully completing projects make very boring blog and forum posts.

not all, just about 50% of them. problem is that the good ones get promoted, and you might get a bad one later.
