My boss isn’t openly awful, which somehow makes it harder. They’re inconsistent, unclear, and impossible to read, so I spend half my mental energy just trying to stay aligned. It's a constant low grade tension thats starting to affect my energy and work. How do you handle a boss who’s not so much toxic but draining?

Oh man, do we have the same manager? Lol. My best advice is to stop giving your feelings about your manager any oxygen and energy. If they want to be clear, they will be. My guess is that you care 10 times more than they do and it's stressing you out more than it will ever stress them out.

I can relate, I feel like they're closet toxic bosses. I just go with the flow, if they're weird today, happy tomorrow, sarcastic the next day, I just group each day's drama for that day and tomorrow is a new scene.

That sounds like a toxic trait to me. Or maybe it’s just not a good fit. I’ve had bosses like that but luckily they were super hands off and so I didn’t care. I don’t mind any situation as long as they leave me alone.

I’ve definitely been there expect I had a boss that second guessed everything I did even though I was doing it correctly. I quit lol

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
