Only in big companies!

I am in a peculiar situation and feel that I have lost all the trust my immediate leader had on me.

bi weekly 1x1s - usually hell of a 30 mins, cross questions, interogation based on what my manager hears about me from my peers, validating my inner strengths, etc. one conversation in a month involves some casual talk consecutive 1x1 will be hellish and it is happening in cycles for a few months

My business acummen - for whatever reason my leader does not care about my business results or the way how I am leading an engineering team. Instead he focuses on petty people dynamics and is pushing me to fix people issues which cannot be fixed

Loosing motivation - I don’t fancy anymore to pursue awesome ideas and business related improvements as my leader is too demotivating

Comfor level - Managers in big tech companies just want the name to appear

Who cares for customers - No one.

Employee survey on leadership and company - My leadership team in Bangalore and onshore senior leadership is only driven by the fact that we do everything so that yearly employee feedback survey shows our department positively and is never ready to take any risks or bold decisions for the rightful growth of busines.

Weird growth expectations - Everyone in my department thinks they deserve to get promotion and opportunities once they reach a certain years of experience. No one cares about performance. Leadership encourages this.

Competition - There is no such thing for us, as my leader is mainly focused on drawing the monthly pay check and do all king of unwanted projects and lose sight on project/opportunities that provides actual career growth for my direct reports. Our skills are being outdated and it is becoming very hard to find a job based on our work profile.

And so many more .. will make a new post.

Been under a toxic manager who had no domain expertise and low competency.

As a result he just went after the petty things he could to try and maintain his authority.

Got out of that place in 3 months.

It's terrible when boss has no subject knowledge and tries to take credit of all work done by me. How do such bosses survive - only bootlicking??
