Feels like I might be digging a hole for myself
Basically my manager and I have had a friendly relationship for the last 6 months. However 2 months ago, his duties changed and he got a new team. I’m the only person who stayed with him. He became rude, snappy, stressed and would ignore me/urgent issues that required his intervention which led to a drop in the team’s productivity. There was also an occasion where he belittled me in a team meeting by making a joke at my expense about my appearance.
As we were “friendly”, I informally raised my concerns with him and asked to move teams as I didn’t feel part of the team and felt ignored etc. He begged me to stay on his team, apologised and explained he had a lot on his plate with the new team and asked me to be patient with him.
Anyway, things haven’t improved and I’m at the stage where I want to move teams. I feel like raising a formal complaint with another manager at my office. Should I? As it would be opening a can of worms. If I stay quiet, I could at least maintain a network with him/the team
