Yeah, behaviour like that by an IT manager resulted in a "mass" (3 out of 4 staff) walkout at one of my previous workplaces, myself included. It started as you described but only got worse from there.

Time to start looking.

Damn. I have had experience with managers like this at previous workplaces, and I was hoping this would be different... But it's just more of the same.

I like the work, but dislike intensely when people like this manager imply the issues are with the staff themselves, rather than the more logical conclusion of there not being enough staff to ensure no lost calls

I already have saved some jobs on seek, so I'll write up some applications after work today lol
