Feeling shit at work

I started a role last week on promotion and feel like my manager and colleagues on the same level think I’m shit. I can only interact with them online as they’re based nationally.

My manager hasn’t checked in on me, I have to manually prompt him to do anything including things he should have done before I started such as sort entry to my building. He’s very forgetful and needs multiple reminders for basic things, he sees it as a personality trait.

I haven’t had an induction or any training. His ethos is that as a senior member of staff, I need to create my own work stream and network & sort myself out. Leaves me feeling quite unprepared. If I contribute to his team meetings, my colleagues aren’t receptive and shut me down. There’s 3 other colleagues on my level in his team and they haven’t said hello or otherwise interacted with me at all. I was in a wider meeting with one of them , where he proceeded to rant that recruitment should not hire outsiders to the department (felt like an indirect statement towards me!)

It sounds toxic.

This sounds pretty grim, but you are not at fault here.

Try to focus on what you can do to improve things for yourself.

Some jobs are just shit, your manager sounds very poor.

Jesus.

This is completely not ok. What a toxic team and crap manager!!!!!!

sorry OP but I would be looking elsewhere.

how were they in the recruitment process? Was it all done via the recruitment team?
I'd be giving feedback on exit .

Get out of there. If they’re like this when you’re new they’ll be worse in 6 months imo.
