I believe that my manager uses reps as scapegoats, he allows them to build up some accounts, and if he does not favor you then he will not give you accounts leads nor accounts through attrition. That way it is only a matter of time before others, through attrition, consistently fill up more funnel and have more opportunities to hit their quotas and show growth. Even if you are a solid rep. He can then take the accounts that you've grown and hand them to a new rep that he hires, along with some leads and attrition, making his new hiree look good.
I started out at my company with all of the accounts that everyone else already filtered and plucked through / have been rinsed and repeated with new reps and turnover multiple times. Still being able to open business and show high growth. However, my manager has it out for me. We are playing a game of chess, and I see how shady he plays the game. This is intel that he uses this tactic to make himself look good as he helps out the reps he hired, or trained, and while he preys on his next scapegoat.
