How to deal with working with someone above you that doesn’t seem to care, isn’t as smart, doesn’t take initiative, etc. To be quite frank i’m not sure how they’re a senior manager but it’s making my job harder since i don’t have guidance on anything and i feel alone because of this (I’m currently a senior 3)
