Discussion is futile without naming companies and reaching out to investor relations or blowing up their twitter.

I work as an analyst and this is my first real job out of college; been here about two years now, pretty much being WFH the whole time. It was a new field to me but I was catching on quick and even began to Quality Control others within my first year. About six months ago I was asked if I wanted to help train some new people internationally and be sent overseas to help set up and train a new office, but of course Delta happened at that time and things got cancelled. Instead, they had me become a team lead for their international project remotely and put me in charge of a group of 50+ analysts, making work plans, ticket assignments, conducting trainings, running meetings, doing one-on-one “remediations”, pretty much all manager responsibilities.

I see the message late due to tech issues (have done everything I can, all I can do is wait for response from IT). He's been nice so far but he sends me back a bitter message saying I need to get it resolved by the end of the week and start taking accountability and ownership. I send him the task, he ignores my explanation, so I set up a meeting to explain myself and he tells me he's upset that I'm not being a “leader” and that I waited two weeks after my start date…
