I have a team lead who is extremely egoistic and arrogant. He takes any little action which he doesn’t approve of personally and then takes it out on me in subtle but obvious ways. Since he has good knowledge of the system and has contacts across multiple teams he gets things done. Therefore our manager is quite favourable of him. Since i am not well versed with the process I have doubts. He will not clear my doubts but will help other peers of mine. I am not roped in mail threads, conversations and other important details. I don’t like to go upto him but I have when I have a doubt. It’s getting tougher to work in an environment where i am constantly left out and feel alienated and alone. Am I thinking too much of it or should I do something about it?
So you're saying he's a guy who knows the system and organization, gets the job done, is liked by his bosses, and he helps your peers? From what I'm hearing, he sounds like a perfectly good team lead and employee to me.
If he works well and helps everyone else, then why is he just against you? To me it sounds like the problem might be on your side, rather than him. If you don't know the system and need his help, maybe you should reflect on your own attitude and try to be more humble and learn from him, rather than calling him arrogant.
If he gets along with and helps everyone else, I'm sure he'll start working well with you too, if you improve your relations and attitude towards him.
Do something about it… my current manager has prejudice against me… for various reasons my background, my last profiles etc.. and he would belittle me in every given chance … 1 week into the joining i kept a call with him and confronted him in the most professional and honest way .. it’s not easy but after 10-11 years in corporate you learn when you put your foot down .. if you like what you do .. don’t let some haif brained egoist to take that away from you… good luck!
How did it work for you? I would be grateful if you could share any tips for how to be professional while also being honest... I have scheduled a call with my manager too and am scared if it will backfire, making him more mean and biased against me.
Sit with hiM and openly discuss in a good tone.
Figure out together what can be done.
Because if he is bad then it should be with everyone
If its only with you them he might help you.
Btw which amazon location is it ?
Change the team or company
Hi , I am going through a similar situation.
You might want to try doing some small talk with them , so that they like you. After this it becomes easier to get people to help you.
Try a couple times at least and with a lot of humility and professionalism. If it still doesn't work, confront him directly. Ask to be in a one on one and clearly state your issues with examples of the manifestations of those very issues.
Happy to hear feedback on this from others too if possible 🙈
He has helped me in the past. And this was one of the reasons I was afraid to take a stand. I have supported him on my week offs. I have done all the work he has given me. But when I need support I am blatantly denied because he has something to do. I am being denied leaves on Christmas!! why? Because they all need to take leave?? He was not against me up until u stood my ground. And now I am not being roped to emails that I should be part of. I have to run behind them multiple times to know what’s going on. He has gatekeeped quite a lot of things because of which i am not able to figure it out by myself. It’s been degrading my morale
Team change boss or pip
Follow what your heart says. Change teams if you have slightest of doubts. All other things will work out
No company cares what you work on or how important you are, the only thing they care about is how others use your name, Whether they complain or praise or ask you for their work. Your lead is good with other people because he wants his work to get done by then, he doesn't have any work with you or he doesn't feel that you are beneficial to him. These kind of people are sick psychopaths, nothing can be done . Even if you try to escalate or do anything,no one will believe you. So what you can do is ask other people whom you know in the company to take you in their team. Not everyone is a sick psycho, someone or the other might help you out , but it's again not a quick and easy process. Or you can prepare and look out for other jobs . Also see if there are internal openings and see if you can move
Come see me tomorrow in office.

My team lead is really rude and it's killing my mood every time we talk. I have to force a smile, but he's never satisfied. Even when we do a ton of work, he only points out what we didn't do. With the tight deadlines, we can't do everyt...
