I recently joined a company and when I joined there's another girl in the similar position and we both report to X. After few month I found out the girl and X were is some sort of weird sexual relationship whereby they will stay back after 5pm. Go for lunch together , girl all dolled up on X's bday. Now X moved to a different department because of a project and made the girl ,the manager. Now girl is dumb af. Doesn't understand anything technical nor have any managerial experience. The only reason she's a manager is because of the relationship wirh X. I am now frustrated and overworked because of her poor decisions and no managerial skills. On top of that when I joined she has more than 400 task pending and because I have been closing all my task , she asked me to close hers. I did some but because of her erractic behavior and because she creates__ a toxic environment. I stopped and now she's asking me to work on stuff which I haven't got any training on and no support from her. Really frustrated and just want to quit.

Hey, that really sucks and I’m sorry it’s happening to you. You sound very competent and like you take pride in your work.

Here’s my advice:

  1. Don’t quit without another gig lined up.

  2. Start looking for a new job now. A bad boss can ruin even a great job, and managers in particular are hard for a company to get rid of. She’ll likely be in that position awhile. You’ve got a boss who is incompetent and has already displayed some loose ethics. You don’t want to stick around that.

  3. Incompetent bosses can sometimes be a good thing because they’re easy to fool. Consider pulling back on your work production so you can focus on designing a great resume and prepping for interviews.

And remember the most important rule: “A company will get rid of you just as soon as it’s convenient for them to do so. You should be ready to do the same to the company.”

#3 big time. Try and milk it.

#4 See if you can start a new job without your lame boss noticing you stopped working.
