Due to a re-org, I’m now reporting to a manager that talks a lot. I’m not 100% sure if he realizes it.

How have you managed up someone who talks more than most people in the office?

If it was a direct report of mine, I would be adding this to things to work on. But my manager….he hasn’t asked for feedback yet.

I can guarantee you that this person’s boss has noticed it, and they will be the one to give them feedback

I agree with the answer above but you could be subtle and say something my teens say a lot “say less” but in a cute way not an antagonist tone. It means the opposite in teen slang but it could be funny way to amuse yourself while dealing with his overly verbose exchanges.

i would make friends with your boss+1 and mention it to them
