My manager at work always ignores me

I have recently started working at home for a very large organisation. I have been working properly for around 4 weeks & spent two weeks in training. Since leaving my training and being put into a team every time I message my manager he opens my messages and ignores them.

I have tried multiple times to contact him to ask about getting my ID badge - before getting the job I made my manager aware I wouldn’t have child care care for Mondays ( I work Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm ) as it’s the six week holidays. He told me whilst in training this would be taken care of - the first week of the summer holidays he marked Monday off as an authorised managers leave however for the following weeks he hasn’t marked money as manager leave and it goes down as “ unauthorised or awol”.

I needed to finish an hour earlier the other day due to my dog having an allergic reaction and needing to take him to the vets. He never replied to my message - I have messaged him asking for my online further training details ( no reply)

he completely ignores me, just opens my messages and leaves them on seen - yet he replies back into the group chat joking around with everyone + if theirs a quiz he’ll be sat playing along but ignoring my messages.

i have got to the point now where I will not be bothering messaging him and asking him anything - I am still without my badge & my learning details which is becoming stressful.

i have been into the office and asked about my badge but they tell me I need to speak to my team manger. I’m getting really fed up and I feel kind of disheartened I waited months for this job but I really don’t feel like I’m part of the team

Btw - you are not being confrontational, simply assertive! The bottom line is that you need his input for your pass otherwise you can't go into the office and you need to make this clear this is the impact if he does not respond.

Some managers can be really disorganised and forgetful and the only way around it is to keep reminding them.It is irritating

Definitely not being confrontational. Just email and say could I schedule a time for a meeting with you. He should have been checking in with you and replying to you.
