My boss is useless. She's been here for nearly two years but things haven't changed. She is just generally incompetent, no leadership, poor management, won't make decisions, lies about things, hates talking to people, is passive aggressive, barely says hello to people, just generally in over her head. People knew right at the beginning and apparently it was flagged up with her but nothing has changed. In an effort to look like she's contributing she waits until projects are nearly completed then sticks her nose in and nitpicks or delays things to have input (it's a pattern).
It's wearing me down and everyone else in the team. She doesn't talk to anyone except to tell them off, takes no interest in people generally. Team morale is very low and everyone is fed up. She's apparently been 'reviewing' the team for the last two years but won't say anything about that or whether she is going to make people who are temping in the team permanent which is leaving the team unsettled.
I've flagged my concerns with her boss and another senior manager. They agree with me largely but haven't done much.
My annual review is coming up and I'm anxious. I'm not performing terribly well, I think because this is wearing me down. Although I never have 121s, no concerns have ever been raised with me but I never get positive feedback either.
Any genius ideas please on how to make things better? My solution so far has been to leave but sadly i'm struggling to get another job!
