I work in IT and have had a recent change in management with whom things havent been working out at all. The person seems juvenile and has had no background in IT and its been really difficult to work with this person, she micromanages us a lot and expects every minor detail to be conveyed which never happens with experienced managers in my 10 years of work experience.
I had to go for a blood test for diabetes recently whose appointments on weekends are not possible and on weekdays I booked an appointment in two days and informed my manager about it that even though I will be away for two hours I will make it up by working the extra hours over time which I did. The person made a big fuss about it and said she needs to be informed well in advance about it.
Also after that in a discussion I have been told I am always late where as I usually have been reporting at 9:15-9:20 for the last 6 months I have been never told about it so it really seems unfair. Not to mention that said manager is always late for meetings by 10 mins since coffees need to be picked up which is okay I guess.
Also coming to work the said manager always keep shifting priorities with our projects and has been a walking disaster at times. If I am working on project X which si supposed to go on for 1 month, I will be shoved with urgent issues and still expected to complete the project in a month. Despite repeatedly flagging these incidents I have been blatantly told that I am not meeting deadlines.
Can I go to fair work with all this information since a Performance plan seems like I have been scapegoated for the managers problems to deal with their stakeholders?
You got to look after yourself, those HR inbreds only care about their own jobs.
Why managers need workshops and training to act like idiots and morons is beyond me,
It’s like paying big money to bring in dumb assholes to sabotage your own corporate culture and success
