I am a year into my current job position and in a very niche industry.
My manager is a biiit ambitious and doesn’t get his way due to budgeting issues. These few months my manager became increasingly demotivated, jaded. it’s really trickling into his work and the way he handles things which I do not really agree with. When things don’t go the way it should, he would take things out of my hands too and things often go south. Or if it is slower he’d lose his patience and speak with the other party’s higher up. We negotiate deals and things can take time. To top it all off… almost everyday he’s losing his shit over something and/or telling me that he’s tired.
I talked to him before a few times that I can take things up if he doesn’t want to, or what does he want me to do. But to no avail, or he would turn the question back onto me.
The thing is the circle I am in is so small, and I don’t know if I’m prepared to move back into my previous job role. Currently there isn’t any opening of interest for what I am doing at the moment. Also I am only a year in… but he’s really affecting my morale too and our market reputation.
I’m really at a loss, there’s no higher up that I can speak with.
