The manager left out the part where he tells Bob that he's "lucky" to be on a team which doesn't have a lot of problems.
I actually had a manager once tell me that not only was I lucky to be in groups that had very few problems (I was moved around a lot), but that even in the groups that historically did have lots of problems, I "just happened" to join them during a lull.
The "lull" was the three month period I was assigned to the group. For the 18 months prior to my joining, the group was averaging 70 BRs (bug reports) a month. They were averaging only 28 during the three months I was there. And I after I left, within three months, they were averaging 62 BRs a month again.
This was actually framed as an indicator that unlike my peers, I wasn't getting enough experience, because I wasn't being challenged technically like they were.
My response that was that was like saying firemen who aren't arsonists don't get as much experiences as their peers who keep setting fires was not appreciated.
