by 2 Cents Worth:

The engineers are the workhorse of any software company.

The paradox is that managers have less technical knowledge than engineers, yet
corporate gives them more credibility. It doesn't matter what you do, you can be a doctor with the cure for cancer, if your boss doesn't like you and tells upper management you did not perform, it's hopeless. Just have a paper trail and emails of your work to prove your worth. If you don't have anything, then say the manager does not provide proper feedback and does not properly manage the team.
