I work in a global team my line manager is on mat leave so I have been reporting to two line managers in NYC.
One is great, been at the company a long long time and is generally a good manager, some micro managing issues and conflict avoidance but miles better than other managers in the past. The second is relatively new (6 months) and he has been awful from the start. At first really disinterested in me and the team of 4 who are all in the same level as me. Now he's hyper interested to the point of now spending 30mins on a call with me to deal with my 'tone' because I sent him an email he didn't like. It's madness. I was reduced to tears on a call because he doesn't like my email style. I have no idea how to move my relationship forward with him.
Thankfully my old manager is coming back in 2 months but I can't see her getting on with him at all. The other people that seem to like him are the other manager and big boss. 1 person in the team has left, 1 is about to give notice and the rest of us are constantly considering our options. It's not all his fault but largely his attitude and 'management style' are at play. I need to stay until next May but realistically I would leave asap if I could.
