Advice - not gelling with new manager

2 replies

Lightsareonnobodyshome · 29/03/2021 17:50

New manager has been in post 7 months and we are just not gelling.
I am the only member of my team WFH (not my choice) because of lack of office space to allow for social distancing. I had a really good connection with previous LM and we had a really good, productive relationship. I feel quite side-lined wfh and more often than not I am not included in the main office discussions or reviews, I just get an email stating we discussed this in the office and xyz. New LM also likes admin, so I feel that many tasks that I would naturally pick up by being on site are being picked up by LM.I feel that I have no role or purpose and when I have mentioned this have just been told that he likes to be busy and that's the nature of admin, not necessarily having a role or purpose. Help, I have never experienced anything like this before and it is really affecting my confidence. I definitely feel that there is an office clique and I am excluded on many levels. Can anyone give me some perspective and tips on how to move forward..?

Do you have enough work to do?

Are you fulfilled by what you are doing?

Do you need to know what is going on in the office (excluded) or was it just a nice thing to know?

If you have interesting work and don't need to know the rest then I'd focus on that.

But if not, or you really feel pushed out, I'd look for another job.

7 months is nothing, he won't be going anywhere for ages.

I would speak to hr, its not ok to be left out of meetings bc you're wfh and nor should your lm being taking on your work.

Also won't hurt to look for a new job.
