I am/was doing very well at work and regularly receive reward and recognition at work which culminated in a high bonus during my last appraisal. My manager was really supportive of my development…then she left
I have had a new manager for a few months and dread coming into work now. My new manager said I’m “self sufficient” so leaves me to my own devices. She never replies to my seldom Teams messages/emails about work and I feel like an afterthought. Situations occur that need her input before moving on, but she spends her time with others in the office and expects me to just deal with it myself. She ignored my AL request but dealt with a colleague’s immediately on the same day, for the same dates
She regularly tells me to do “X”, then doesn’t contact me to let me know the situation has changed and that I should not do “X” and “Y” should be done instead. Then gets annoyed (eg snappy, blunt, short) with me for doing “X”. She accidentally forgets to add me to meetings. She actively moves to block my development, eg I was a deputy for my previous manager and she said I could deputise for her but chose someone else to. She knows I am a department specialist in something but has taken away all my time focused on it, whilst still expecting me to help others with it. Not to post an essay, but the lack of time makes me look bad towards stakeholders as I’m still the go-to. Instead I have to spend loads of time either training the rest of her team or covering her team.
Therefore I felt work was enjoyable until I joined her team. I don’t think it’s a performance issue on my behalf cause she has recently given senior management great feedback about me and personally asked for me to be added to her team initially. I just feel ignored and undervalued, the scope of my role has changed, and her demeanour is a bit rude and unapproachable. Aibu? If not, what can I do?
