Currently working for Foreign Startup, under a Indian Engineering Manager.
Manager is incompetent, doesn't like disagreemets. If you disagree with him, then he goes to length to make your life diffult. Already seen few examples in the team.
There are red flag all over the place. I'm not sure how upper management is not able to catch him. He does the politics, favoritism, etc...
List goes on and on. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S Don't want to leave the company in this market.
I went through the same and went overboard to please such a person affected my mental health and had to take a break.
Please focus on your health. Block time for yourself outside of work. eat healthy, workout and meet people (have fun).
Working with such people will always be draining, so get in and out of conversation with them quickly, be to the point, clear. Reduce exposure and heat as much as possible.
Keep things on written comms as much as possible MOMS, journaling (helps your cognition and tracking) etc.
Remember it is ok to take help or do what is best for you.
Thanks for sharing 👏🏻

Unfortunately, nothing can be done to deal with such managers. May be you could try moving to other project/team?
Let me know if any solution worked for you. I am facing the same any disagreement shifts to major arguments.
I recently started a new job. I would like to share some of the experiences I have had with my manager. I am wondering if these are red flags or if I am maybe being paranoid or thinking too much.
It was quite difficult for me to get i...

I am going through my notice at an early stage Start-up.
The founder is extremely toxic and is trying to create issues despite me trying to work double hard.

Does the Toxic work culture only exist in India or outside India also the same? Are the international Managers good compared to Indian Managers?
Hi folks, It’s a very detrimental time for me. I have been working with an organisation I don’t want to name. My manager is beyond Toxic, each day there hasn’t been a single day he hasn’t yelled at me and few other new folks in the team ...
