My manager wavers between being completely disengaged or totally overwhelmed. I believe this is reflecting negatively on me. How should I go about trying to move to another team without seeming disloyal or disparaging when describing my situation?

If your manager is failing you and negatively impacting your career, you have every right to move on. If this is the case, your reputation could be affected if you stay there. I would make the move and present it as though you just need to have more of a challenge and are ready to for a new opportunity. Good luck to you.

You have to think of yourself and how it affects you before thinking of how it will seem to appear to other people. Eventually, it will not be a healthy working environment for you both. Move as soon as possible so you don't have to delay other things as well.

Don't say you want to leave because your manager, focus on making yourself looking for eager to advance your career.

Before jumping ship, have you thought about talking with your manager? Maybe there is something or some way to resolve the issues. Maybe they need a pep talk. If not, you have every right to protect yourself and move on. Good luck.
