I have a new manager, and it’s been hard.

I have a new manager, and it’s been hard. She’s great at self promotion, l’ll give her that. But she’s changing reporting lines for team members from me to her on a whim, attacking what is left of my team and uses language that deminishes the work I do - no one needs training as a marketer”, reframe the wins the team deliver as her own in the same conversation. She doesn’t know the work the team do - like has not had experience ever before so the team have to meet each day to brief and rebrief her daily. Her partner is a former politician and it does feel like she’s calling him for help on a daily basis. I’ve put in time to discuss things with her tomorrow. I’ve gone from liking my job to hating it overnight. What do I say in this meeting that’s going to change the dynamic.

    I seriously doubt you will change anything. You may help her understand that she has team members that are not onboard with the changes she is making. So be careful not to take an adversarial position. Try and support her changes and give her reasons to need you.

    Expose her for what she is. Show the proof of you work. Let he know you dont appreciate her stealing your work efforts.
