Has anyone ever had a male boss that expects you to just blindly listen to their opinion even though they have less experience than you in a specific topic? It also seems like he is annoyed when I reach out even though I’m very polite. With this type of boss, is it better to just avoid them and have them come to me if they need something rather than seek any advice from them? I don’t want them to think they aren’t needed though. I recently got promoted and not sure he’s happy about that.

Experience is not as highly regarded as in the past

You were promoted and your boss isn’t happy about that? Isn’t your boss the one who promoted you? Frankly, if this is your situation, you need to sit down with your boss and explain what you need from him. Some people don’t interact well with others, some people don’t know what to do and are afraid to admit it so they use tactics like this. Regardless of why, you need to sit down with your boss talk about what your needs are and ask him what his expectations are.

Nobody likes to admit this, but in order to get ahead, you have to learn to work with flawed human beings. And that means building relationships where you can, and finding ways to get people to do what you need them to do so you can succeed. Often that is making sure that your boss always looks like a hero. When you make your boss look good, you benefit.

Thank you - makes sense. He wasn’t the one who promoted me — another team did and I got transferred to his new team
