My manager who I got along with really well just left and now the new department head is my boss for now (the boss one step higher than my boss who left)..
This person is an absolute mess and the lack of leadership, direction, and sense of vision for the department is causing me to panic. I know it makes me sound like a simp, but I really do need a manager who knows how to manage. I admire folks who are able to do their job without directions, but I struggle with confidence and like being able to seek advice and input.
My new boss is even more disorganized than I am and it makes every task difficult to get done. I'm currently at my limit because she wants me to edit and send a report for a committee that she's the contact for. I'm the contact for another committee and I already sent in the annual report (grateful for the committee chair who had 99.9% of it done).
I'm really close to just snapping at her in email but she's already fired people so I don't want to risk it.
I used to at best, love my job and at worst be neutral about it. Now I fucking hate it.
