Some time ago I heard an interesting point of view on people management. In all its simplicity it was stated that a people manager's sole duty towards her employees is that she must at any time work to increase their market value - enable them to sell themselves at a higher price, so to speak. If the manager does so, the employee has every reason to be satisfied.
On the other hand, the worst accusation that you can give your manager face to face is: "You do not increase my market value" - or perhaps even "You are impairing my market value." If the employee is in that situation, it is the most important reason that she should look after something else to do.
Not least if the manager is confronted with it and no improvement can be noticed.
