Managers that do that are objectively shit managers. Sure, if your employee whines about every little thing expecting you to fix it all the time, turning it around on them is appropriate to foster some level of help-yourself capabity. But if your employee is selectively choosing to bring an issue to you as a request for assistance, turning it around on them is the same as 'fuck you, I'm not helping'. Bad manager. People don't quit jobs, they quit bosses. That is the kind of boss you might consider quitting, because they are poor at their job and do not have your back. In fact they are not even really listening to you.
