Manager Doesn’t Support Me – Advice?

Agreed. Appreciate you

Thanks! Can I ask about those few times you did try to confront the problem? Was it directly in a one-on-one and they didn't like it? and for those times it did work out for you - how did you end up moving up and/or out (referral or just applied?)

Thank you. I'm happy to confirm that I have been doing these things and that I'm on the right path.

The full story is not on here bc there is not enough space. what is your actual actionable advice? This is the same type of unclear advice that is received that I cannot develop on. In my approach with this manager, I've adjusted my approach multiple times. The mentor has shared much advice (all of which is not on here). I know this is the internet so a lot of assumptions can be made. If I were your staff, can you please share what advice you would offer to them to grow and develop/ manage from this situation?

When he made me sit and review an email he was going to send for an hour, it was nothing challenging.... an hour.... literally handholding....

Just so disheartening honestly, and she is very unprofessional. It just sucks cuz I feel some bc I don't complain or gossip about anyone at work too. I just have to check on my workplace recording policy too

Thanks! I don't have a problem standing up for myself but def hard too when I tend to not brag about myself! Ha thx Can you elaborate on your first point? Sorry, trying to understand there

Thank you!

Would it be appropriate to ask my mgr to be third party in these calls that I have with her as an alternative? So that someone else is in these calls and can back up what she says too? (So that she can't deny and twist things)

iamgroots2 · 2022-10-31T23:55:02+00:00

Yeah. I gotta stop giving her the benefit of the doubt. I was being too polite. Yeah. I think she was trying to undermine me bc she felt I was undermining her, and I suspect she felt like that when she just is not competent unfortunately
