Hi, can someone who has been in this situation help me figure out how best to manage it?
I took a drop in seniority to move role about 10 months ago, because I had to relocate for family reasons
My manager constantly looks very stressed, is getting chased all the time for things and complained to. They don't have time for 1:1s etc.
I most definitely do not have enough work. I turn everything around quickly and regularly remind her that I can take on more work. I am more than capable of much more complex work and she knows it. I don't understand why she isn't passing on more of the work to me? And I don't know how to have the conversation when she is always to busy to chat (we are meant to have a fortnightly team meeting too but she always cancels them). One of my peers is quite busy, the other one perhaps a bit busier than me but definitely could take on more.
Beyond nice reminders we can do more, what can we realistically do. I don't want to do anything that might be seen as "managing up" because I really like my manager I just want to take my share of the load
