How to answer why you're quitting a new job you've only been doing for one month?

The honest answer is that manager is inexperienced and she also has no off mode.
There was virtually no onboarding, I was thrown into the the mix day 2.
Very lean team with very little support.
My WLB is out of wack due to having to deal with west coast hours, 6 or 7pm meetings.

How do I spin this positively?

The manager has to learn one way or another. Be honest but helpful in your feedback separating any personal feelings. You should be able to talk to your skip level manager without fear of repercussion.

As a manager, I would like to know what I can do better because I don’t really know what’s going on sometimes. A month isn’t long enough to fully flesh out the situation, hiring somebody is a tedious process for both you and your company so think it through. I would also add, quitting a job without a backup is not recommended unless you’re wealthy and working for fun.
