Manager is definitely jealous of the leadership skills I exhibit and I have a feeling he won’t vouch for me when it comes time for promotions...

Read the 48 laws of power. I think the first law is never outsmart the master. You cannot let your manager feel that you were trying to be a leader. And any great ideas you come up with. You need to attribute them to your manager. You are being paid to do a job and to follow company protocol. And thinking outside of the box are going beyond that makes you non compliant. This is what they expect of employees

Good answer!

Support them anyway. Don’t stop leading. Fill the void. Take up your space. Be your best, and the manager will either adjust and appreciate the value you’re bringing, or their people will eventually follow you when you land your next job. Either way, those who lead will rise.

Don’t play to anyone else’s insecurities. And remember that this can be done without coming across as a jerk, or cutting the managers legs out from under them.

Have you tried discussing these alleged issues with him? It is equally your responsibility to be clear about your goals, and that you hope he can upskill and develop you towards those things.

If you have not done a development conversation I recommend you ask for one. Otherwise, any of your suspicions are just that. You cannot fault someone for not being able to read minds….yet.

Yep pretty common - if you're feeling this way, just know that you do have an option to leave. It's not worth staying somewhere if they're going to stifle your growth anyway

You must not me in the cool kids club! Don’t let that phase you! Just keep upping the bell curve.

Unfortunately, just because people have the sales skills to work their way up & become managers, they don't always have the soft skills necessary to be good leaders. Try not to let it get you down, and keep doing your best. If you see that's going to be a problem, you could try to meet with them to clear things up. Or, worst case--try switching to a different team or different workplace altogether eventually..

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
