True. Cruelty knows no gender.Only sometimes they're women.
Here's my problem. Our manager doesn't manage. The previous manager we had in our office had been with our bank for more than 25 years. She had started as a part-time teller and worked her way up the ladder.To me, a manager that is toxic and/or a micro-manager has one defining trait... insecurity.
There are more young females that get promoted that are exactly like that.Here's my problem. Our manager doesn't manage. The previous manager we had in our office had been with our bank for more than 25 years. She had started as a part-time teller and worked her way up the ladder.
The current manager we have is young (which does matter sometimes) and had no previous banking experience. She came from managing insurance offices.
You can definitely the difference in someone that's worked their way up the ladder over someone hired from the outside. The former manager knew how to run a banking office and how to utilize people to their strengths. Our new manager (well, she's been with us since July 2023) is just simply lazy. She wants enough people on the teller and customer service side of the office so she doesn't have to do anything. She literally shuts her door for hours a day and scrolls on her cell phone, but says she's working on reports.
On a positive note, this new manager is very approachable and puts family first. If you have a family emergency come up, she's all for you seeing about it. But she's a lazy manager when it comes to her job and our jobs.
She definitely has her favorites in the office (no matter what she says) and bats more for them (she favors one lady in particular) than she does for anybody else.
But, yeah, that's a little rundown on our manager and how she does things.
The laziness of our current manager is actually baffling sometimes. She huffs and puffs and says things like "the other managers don't have to do what I do" and yeah -- I guess they don't, but we're a small office. Everyone has to do double duty sometimes, from the management down. Larger offices can get away from management actually working the floor, but ours just isn't staffed that way.There are more young females that get promoted that are exactly like that.
My theory is because they would be inept if they were tasked with doing the actual work.. that higher ups promote them so they're out of the way. I see it all the time.
