My manager has been great to me. She saw potential in me, progressed me and is generally supportive. Recently she has been promoted (far too quickly IMO) and is struggling in her role. A lot of what she should know is stuff I can do as a subject matter expert, so she just defers to me and puts more on me.
With her promotion is the opportunity, and push by other senior management for me to be promoted. I’m really concerned about her lack of understanding, the teams underperformance (I technically sit within our original department but unofficially support a merging team she heads up.) My workload is increasing, when i’ve
regularly been mentioned by seniors as the busiest Manager already before this. She doesn’t know what she is talking about, turns out to be a poor communicator when stressed and blames others for her poor performance (which was quite upsetting as she’s great to me but blames the lower staff members)
I like my job, I love the company. They have a history of poor decisions though. Do I move forward with promotion directly under this manager? Or do I wait her out and risk falling off the radar?
