How many of your manager has mood swings issues?

My manager is completely unpredictable. I don’t know what they want, they give me unclear instructions and often do a 180 degree turn when it comes to delivering it. They trivialise my work sometimes, don’t take feedback very well, at this point they’re taking revenge when I finally stood up for myself and explained my issues. I have around 5 years of work experience and worked with various types of people but I’ve never worked for such a person. I even went to therapy just to see if something’s wrong with me instead. This situation is affecting my confidence a lot since I’m also new in the organisation and not able to settle down. Did you ever have such a manager and how did you deal with them?

Please share your thoughts!

I am an intern at a Financial services firm, here i have a senior who has recently moved from Kolkata to Mumbai for this particular job, Here she is getting an amazing salary package as a fresher, but the environment here is really unhealthy, she and my senior (who's also my reporting manager) both of them are extremely overwhelmed with work ALL THE TIME! Here there is very poor internal communication and the work over here gets done according to the mood of the senior manager, and the senior manager can be extremely moody, she is sharp, intelligent and strategic but moody, so the person I am referring to the senior who has moved from Kolkata is going through ALOT! My question is, is it really worth it to put yourself through so much of misery, i know people have their priorities but I am curious to know people's opinions on this

Hi everyone, I have been working in this company as a junior software developer for more than 8 months. This is my second company, and I had a probation period after joining this one. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with my manager because he was a fan of micromanagement. He didn't like anything I did and said that I was worthless, didn't know anything, and was stupid. He didn't have any trust in me, and I faced this day-to-day in office life. As a result, I lost my confidence, developed anxiety and depression, and even thought about suicide about a month ago. I am currently going to a therapist every week for my depression and anxiety. I worked really hard and even worked overtime and some weekends during my probation period. However, after 6 months, during my review, my manager said that I didn't work on anything and extended my probation to 3 months. I started my career 2 years ago, and I wonder if this is normal in IT career. I am looking for a job change right now, but I always get the question from most of the HR "why do you move too early?" and I don't know how to answer this question. Please help, guys.

The one who - Keeps nagging with status updates - Pushes you to achieve a goal which is merely quantitative & not qualitative - Appreciates employees that show ‘first-benchers’ trait - Junks your ideas to satisfy his own ego - Pretends busy all the time Comment your experience dealing with such Managers.

I have one question for everyone. How do you resolve your issues if you have issues with your manager or lead? Or How do you build a trust if the trust is broken because of some delayed work, wrong work, wrong design, or something you did wrong in the past and he/she still judges you based on that but you're now doing better?

I am not depressed because of work or challenges, but only because of my manager. As soon I was under this new manager in a new project, I didn't knew my life would get so terrible. 1 The project got complicated because my manager couldn't understand the technical discussions. 2 Team lead was out in the starting itself because of the unethical or disrespectful behaviour of the manager. 3. Whole responsibility came over me. I did my tasks very well and even got appreciation from client side. I was expecting appreciation from my manager too but instead got an escalation 😞. Reason by manager:: 1. I don't provide clear status updates --> reality:: I provide updates on slack,Dsm,jira every day with full clarity. 2. I take Unplanned leaves -->reality:: 2 sick leaves only till now (one leave in one month) 3. Lazy and unproductive and many more --> reality:: I even help my senior with their tasks and who is doing the project then?? In this way, the manager wants to escalate with any way it finds. When I tried to have a discussion and asked relevant reason, the manager was quite unable to ans. My rating is also been spoiled 😮‍💨 Even the upper management is with The manager. We the team of 3 people from which only I am left, both of them being escalated and forcefully resigned from the company. I am been torchered with this escalations on a regular basis and I don't know how to tackle this situation.😞😞 --

What to do of an immediate project manager who is never happy with your work😌

I'm feeling really stuck and frustrated at work lately. Despite putting in my best efforts and consistently performing well, it seems like my manager is feeling threatened by my progress. He’s been rejecting my ideas and work without even reviewing them, and calling me out in meetings for not completing non-priority tasks. The environment has become really toxic and it's taking a toll on me. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
