Need suggestions: So I joined this bank and I was loaned to a different director in my team due to some long term leave for one of his SMs and audit with my director was deferred. The idea was that I would be involved in Fieldwork and take over reporting part. Issue is that I just despise the way this other Director is working. He would assign a task, and then start following up the very next day. And then after I send the document, he won’t even read that for a day!! Contd in comments

No directions on how it needs to be done, doesn’t respond properly when I ping him or doesn’t turn up for meetings. I am new so I dig out similar examples, talk to few folks and then when I share the document, turns out, it has to be done in a different way. I want to share this feedback with my director but not sure on how to phrase it without sounding ‘Cry baby’ on my first audit. I am also cognizant that my director and this director go a long way as my director used to manage this guy. Any suggestions??

Is this normal?
