Red Pill:

The boss/employee relationship depends equally on both people. If you always "have a terrible boss" that really means your relationship with your boss is bad, which depends on both people.

You were warned. The Red Pill is near:

To spell it out: If you consistently have a terrible relationship with your boss, with several bosses... I'm sorry, but the common factor is you. You're probably a shitty employee.

What you wrote doesn’t seem related to the comment you are replying to.

Plus, your unrelated response comes off as arrogant and judgemental.

The more negative things a new hire has to say about their former employer or coworkers, the more likely that they are unbearable to work with.

Maybe, but it’s a mistake to begin applying this without a big-enough sample. A slippery slope exists: what if they say negative things about the domain? Worry that new patterns in project management are unproven but unchallengeable? I’ve had new hires say that their old team was “hard to work with” but for a release cycle I can’t be sure if that’s a compatibility odor or simply the truth.

Telling someone they are a bad cog is the corporate machine is not Red-Pilling. It's Blue-Pilling.
