My male ECD boss has made me do all his dirty work (giving feedback he didn’t want to give, telling me to micromanage people) and now the team doesn’t like me. And now he acts like he doesn’t like me either to seem cool with the younger creatives. What can I do that isn’t leaving the place?

You can let him know that you think the feedback would resonate more if he delivered it himself. You’re entitled to take his feedback and action it however you think is best. If you feel like the work doesn’t actually need to be micro managed in order to be done properly, then don’t.

If the damage is already done, it’s going to take some time to undo it. Just because he’s your senior doesn’t mean he has the authority to treat you like his puppet, especially at the expense of your reputation. I agree with the comment above completely. Have some discernment regarding these orders of his moving forward.
