Evening

Anyone who has tips on managing up and dealing with a manager who doesn't know what he's doing?

Anyone been in this situation before and how did you manage?

I'm in a senior role with a high level of autonomy , however, when I have conversations with him, that need serious actions - there's a lot of faffing about, and he's also a talker (think :you being present in someone's monologue) and so points, and actions get lost in the convo and I have to follow up in email, state issues and actions for him to focus, understand and hopefully take on board. This is very taxing.

Help.

Follow up everything with emails. Read up on company grievance policy. Join a Union and stay very alert. These situations have a tendency to snake round to being a problem for you not him.

Yeah, I ended up moving roles.
HR aren't there for you, they are there to keep the company out of trouble. I would look for something else
