How to deal with direct managers who don’t share what they do, provide no direction, two faced, micromanages, never comes to your catch ups, complains in meetings and has a very “dominant assertive” personality …

I think they are burnt out, but it’s making me have very low work morale.

…have you tried asking them? Subtly call them out by saying “hey I noticed we haven’t been able to connect the last 3 times, should we try a different slot?”

I think it’s worth letting the EM or PML know… hey is X alright? And they may say I think so, why? Then ask for some advice saying you need input or need time and haven’t been able to get it, ask what they would do.
