I’m a first line manager at a new org with my company. I won’t disclose the name but it’s a large legacy corporation in America, and has been around for a very long time. Anyways, we have this asshat mid-level manager that’s on loan to “help” us. He’s 2 levels of leadership above me. He’s also got a reputation of bad leadership and spilling his vices over into the work place. The asshat is not over our leadership team in the org charts but someone even higher up gave him that authority. He is constantly in my business, questioning my production status and then makes decisions behind my back that affect my teams. He’s really bad at micromanaging and gets turned around with the narrative he’s got built up in his head. He berates anyone for sub par performance in front of other senior leaders. He also defers blame to others.
My team and I need this ass puppet to go. We can’t perform with this toxic obsession. Any ideas on getting this jerk out of here?
I should note. I’m finally at my dream position with my company. I love it. I want to stay there. It doesn’t feel like work, it’s more of a hobby. Or at least I did until the turd burglar showed up. How can I preserve that feeling? I need to stay motivated.
