If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Do you want to know which employee names are not manager names?

I'm assuming that the Employee Name is in column A and the manager is on column B. This will highlight in red every employee who is not a manager.
Code:
Sub CompareLists()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim Rng As Range, RngList As Object
    Set RngList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    For Each Rng In Range("B1", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      If Not RngList.Exists(Rng.Value) Then
        RngList.Add Rng.Value, Nothing
      End If
    Next Rng
    For Each Rng In Range("A1", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      If Not RngList.Exists(Rng.Value) Then
        Rng.Font.ColorIndex = 3
      End If
    Next Rng
    RngList.RemoveAll
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Sorry, I for the confusion. Column A Employees ID, Column B has Manager Name, Column A Employees ID has multiple times, (can be many times repeated), I am looking for If Column A Employee ID is same and managers Name are different in Column B.
Eg, ID 123 Manager is Mike, and another record shows Employee ID123 but Manager is John. If Manager is same for both, do not high light. Hope this is clear. Thank you.

Can there be more than 2 manager names for any one employee ID?

Let's say you have something like the following:

ID Manager Name
1 Mike
1 George
1 Mike
1 George
2 John
2 Mary
2 John
2 Mary
2 John

There are 4 people with an ID of "1" where 2 of the people have Mike as a manager and 2 have George as a manager. How do you decide which to highlight? Same for ID "2".
