I’m losing my patience more and more at my current job,. My department is small and the manager is highly incompetent. I find myself explaining basic L&D principles often to these “seasoned professionals” I don’t feel heard. today an issue I’ve raised regarding how they are reporting out metrics was revisited. The manager acted like she never heard this before when we JUST discussed it this past fall. My frustrations are showing more and more and I just don’t know handle it anymore

No advice but I’m right there with you. Beyond frustrated at work these days

1. Put it all in writing. Every piece of feedback, concerns your raise, ideas you have, questions you’re answering, etc. make sure it’s all done via email. If it happens to be in an in person convo, follow up with an email recapping the convo. Receipts are the only way. 2. Start applying. You’re burnt out. The issue sounds systemic, the only change that’s coming is the change you can control— find a new gig with people who you think are smart and that you can learn from. Good luck.
