My manager is useless. I can’t remember the last time he actually did anything, he only attends meetings. Always on YouTube, Facebook, games... I continue to voice my ideas, always falling on his deaf ears. Career progression is non-existent under him. I need some motivation, tips, anything you got. Help a girl out!
There has got to be one time when you need to care for your own interest first.
Yassssss! I’m in a similar boat. My manager can be amazing sometimes, and horribly passive aggressive sometimes. She has a definite favorite on the team (not me) and all the good projects go to him. I’m trying to move to another team but can’t figure out what move to make. I’ve come up with a basic plan - stick it out for another year (or two max). If nothings changed then switch companies. It helps because I know there’s an out / and end point. Also it’s forcing me to learn new tech so that I’m ready if / when I have to make the move. Good luck!
So on board with this idea. I’d be okay with giving it a year until I start actively looking at other companies. I’m going to network my ass off in the meantime. Good luck to you too!
Move to a different company. Life is too short to waste like that. Obviously he doesn't want to do work. If you try to push him, he's going to start seeing you as a "problem" that gets in his way.
I don’t want to leave the company. There are so many amazing leaders here, I just happen to have a rotten one. 👎🏼
Change groups to 1 of those amazing leaders?
