Sharing my frustration here

I’ve always been mentioned as an excellent performer by my manager since I joined the project. I received good feedback from my manager and team lead as well. Recently I’ve been shifted to a new team and the team mates don’t cooperate at all. As I’m new to the work that I’ve been doing in this team, sometimes I ask for guidance from my team mates or team lead. The team lead hardly responds to my texts. In most of the cases I’ve been learning and solving my problems by myself as I don’t receive any response neither from my team lead nor the other team mate. There was a major issue triggering recently, I was able to find the cause of the problem but I didn’t have much idea on how to solve it properly…regarding which I was constantly informing and asking for the solution to my team lead and my team mate. But neither of them responded and the issue got escalated and my team lead complaint to the manager while being questioned that me and the other team mate weren’t checking on the issue on a everyday basis. The same manager who had always been praising for the quality of my work and performance, questioned me rudely on the issue today that I wasn’t checking on the issue even after being assigned and didn’t let me speak my opinion on it. Nothing… just sharing here out of frustration as I can’t do anything rather than just listening to the seniors. Coz they’re after all “Seniors”/“Managers” and as a fresher we can’t really do anything about it rather than just listening and obeying them. I want your opinions regarding my situation.

Seeidinc: The Toxic Symphony of Politics, Ego and Denial

Imagine a company where the only soundtrack is the toxic symphony of politics, ego and denial. You're not in a high school cafeteria. Here , manager has a first-time experience and chooses to weaponize it against you. This, my dear reader, is my story. A story steeped in humiliation, but also one laced with resilience. I've always been known for my ability to bring people together, nurture creativity and drive progress. However, the toxic environment I encountered was getting toxic day by day. It was a place where basic feedback was met with resistance and where the QA has biggest ego. I raised the issue, with the manager, but instead of addressing the problem, they launched into a political circus, blaming me for the chaos. My voice, my logic, my experience - all dismissed with a nonchalant "You're wrong, again." never faced this with my ex-colleagues before this from all previous companies though they were from tier-1 colleges and hungry to learn, grow and very humble when it comes to giving and taking feedbacks. It's a humbling reminder that genuine leadership and the ability to accept feedback are the foundational pillars of any successful organization. My journey through this toxic symphony has taught me valuable lessons about the importance of creating a positive and inclusive work environment. It has also fueled my resolve to keep pushing boundaries, even when faced with blatant indifference and deceit.
