If you do this you are creating a rod for your own back: You need management to see the failures & the time it takes to fix them, otherwise they will assume everything is fine & wonderful with their new toy & proceed with their plan to inflict it on everyone, oblivious to the true costs + benefits.

If at every company I work for, my manager's average 7-8 months in their role as _my_ manager, and I am switching jobs every 2-3 years because companies would rather rehire their entire staff than give out raises that are even a portion of the market growth, why would I care?
Not that the market is currently in that state, but that's how a large portion of tech companies were operating for the past decade. Long term consequences don't matter because there are no longer term relationships.
