Say you got a new job. Better salary, hybrid schedule, awesome benefits, wonderful team, and pretty decent, laid back management. Well soon after accepting the position, your manager is replaced with another manager. This manager is toxic, controlling, and a micromanager. What do you do?? You left your old job to avoid this, and took the new job knowing the new manager wouldn’t be like this. You weren’t made aware of any changes until after you accepted your new role.

Thank u for sharing this nightmare scenario (sorry you were ambushed by personnel change). Yikes! Is new manager open to 1:1 off-line conversation to explore their greatest challenges & how you can support them in your scope of responsibilities? Often, if you can help them "look good", they will be less toxic or controlling. Most micro-managers are deep down very insecure in their role &/or promoted to their highest level of INcompetency (for whatever reason). Next step (if new manager unwilling to chat 1:1 or chat does not end well) is to approach your HR dept. (if company has an effective HR dept.). Also, check-in with your teammates & possibly new manager's former teammates to see if they can provide you with more effective ways to work w/new manager. Agree w/"Director 1", after 3-4 months of trying, start looking for either new Dept./Team to join (easier to do in-house switchover; sounds like you generally like new company), or look out-of-house for a new workplace (won't look as good on your CV ... you'll look like a job-hopper, since you only recently took this position). Hope that helps.

Meanwhile, in upcoming interviews, I plan to ask, "Are there any upcoming changes in the team's Senior positions (P.I., Sr. researchers) that I should be aware of?"

Give it 3 months. Look for a new job if new manager is still toxic.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
