Awful!!! I once worked at a pretty good place but my weird niche job position meant that I was the only person who reported to someone I didn't actually work with. It was the second in command.
So he had absolutely no clue what I did, and like in yearly reviews I'd get a sudden horrible rating in certain areas like "responsiveness" or whatever, based on literally 2 anonymous lines of a text message from someone 10 months ago, when 9.5 months ago I proudly fixed exactly the issue in question even though it wasn't my fault. Shit like that. The whole process of review was built around people who worked together daily, with their manager actually hands on and helping... except for me.
So even though the place was good, even though the CEO was one of the least CEO-brained people in that position, and almost everyone was nice, it became completely fucking unbearable and I quit
