Reasons why I want to quit:
1. Manager:
- Nothing I can learn from Manager. She's not as knowledgeable as other managers in this industry.
- Overdependent on me. No support from her in terms of ops side (except only when I'm sick the past 2 days)
- I will have to live with her for at least 4 months. Okay, not too bad, just a little more to hang on.
- Doesn't set clear boundaries with the clients ie. Tell client that we are stretched, we cannot do this and that.
- Overpromise clients and expects me to clean up after her.
- Says she has "no time" to do report together because she has to do xxx number of things that are ridiculous, because it is within her responsibility as a manager to do it. It is also about the same as what I do on a daily basis.
- Talk only, inefficient in doing things: while I'm trying to clear as many tasks as possible
- Promised that she would keep track of convo during my birthday; but did not.
- Expect me to work as she wants me to "ping" her after office hours.
TOXIC.
2. Clients:
- Demanding clients with no clear sense of SLA and what is impossible.
- No respect for our personal time
- Expects things to be done swee swee when there's only 2 humans in charge of 11 people
- TOXIC
