What are the red flags in a manager? Any thoughts!
Started a new role after a long search. Its been 2.5 months. Previous manager was a moron but I had to stick it out. New manager started to show signs of being a moron! Not sure if I am suffering PTSD from previous role and being too sensitive. I don’t want to be anywhere and be miserable again for years! I am 44 now and retrained to be a lawyer.

For me, the biggest red flag is someone who is a terrible communicator.

The unnecessary moodiness, what is that about? I don’t get it! And yes, lazy as hell! I have raised it with a senior manager because of a few incidents. I refuse to tolerate this yet again! Need to nip it in the bud!

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
