Hello fishes, is it a red flag when I'm the ONLY one on my team who's happy with the management, meaning my boss and my boss's boss? Other than the two bosses, we have 6.

Had to make a diagram for this lol. But are you asking about whether it is a red on your end, the team's, or the boss'?

Thanks. I'm asking for my end. I don't know if I'm just too new to see the problems because others have been with the company for over 10 years.

If their attitude affects the company and your job, then yes it is. But if they are still competent and efficient, I think you don't have to worry. You can consider it as a red flag if everything becomes chaotic because they are not happy with the management.

Not really chaotic. They told me they aren't happy with the management. But when I asked them if they want to leave, they said they like their job. Isn't that confusing? Lol

If I'm the only one happy with the management then I'd certainly be suspicious of it. Ask around why the management does not sit well with them. If it's not bad enough to make you want to leave then I wouldn't pay much mind to it. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.

Honestly, some people just like complaining & other people easily adopt others' ideas. So it could be some of that going on, rather than them just really being unhappy with the management. If you're curious about whether or not you're missing something, it would be fair to ask what they don't like if the opportunity arises. That would give you a better idea of what they have seen or experienced to make them feel the way they do & how serious it is.

Welp! Finally got the axe today too. I didn’t even get to talk to my manager. One of the execs I support told me he’s very sorry and I was great, etc etc, but it couldn’t be avoided. Whatever. I kind of never want to work again. I’m heartbroken.
