My manager is a quiet firing guy. It's beyond frustrating. We have one kid, he screws us daily. Does what he wants. My manager has basically given up because he's too busy in his work to tell him simple things like "Grab your work phone before meeting" every morning. 
I fully agree with you, OP. I can't stand my manager lately because of his lack of a back bone. More work falls onto other employees shoulders when one keeps screwing them over. It's making my entire team to hit a boiling point of annoyance with it. Weak bosses create negative atmospheres
