  this reminds of the drunk who staggered around a lamppost and seemed like
  he looked for something.  a helpful man asks him "are you looking for
  something?"  "yes, my watch!"  the helpful man looks, too, and there's no
  watch to be seen.  "did you lose it here?"  "no, I lost it over there",
  the drunk says and points to a dark doorway.  "but why are you looking
  here?"  "because there's better light here!"

  (I'm not insinuating that your manager was drunk.)
