I started a remote job in February with a new software company in an east coast state. I am in another part of the country. There are only 5 of us on the team. The parent company we are attached to has a different business model. My boss and I have been doing mostly work for the parent company and not much for the one we work for. There is a lot of tension and childish bickering between him and the IT team. I figured it would improve with time and I just had to get used to the new baggage at a new job. All jobs have baggage. But now as I am getting more into the flow it seems to be getting worse. I am getting drawn into more and want nothing to do with it. I just want to do my job. My boss constantly complains to me about the issues with the IT team. I was in a meeting yesterday where they were all acting like children till the CEO said to stop and come to a solution. There are some other issues too, with my boss encouraging me to speak at a conference but then wanting to write my presentation. When I asked him to let me do it since I was the one speaking he just kept "helping" and adding to the presentation. He also constantly complains to me about everyone else. I find myself wondering what he is saying about me to others. The salary is amazing. More than I ever have made. Fully remote is good because I have health issues. But man I am starting to wonder if it is worth it. I have been so stressed. I did great at the beginning about keeping my head down and just doing my work. It is getting harder and I am not sure what to do. I am trying to be the grown-up in the sea of man babies..but it is really hard to deal with.
