tell me

I don't know and I don't care if my manager likes me or not. He is a despicable narcissist. I do not like him and I despise him. I am looking for a new job elsewhere.
It was unclear to me whether my former leader liked me or not. I was transferred to a lower manager on the team and was told it didn’t mean anything. It made no difference to me. There were other signs that I wasn't her favorite, but I just dismissed them. I eventually was moved to a whole different team. At that time, I realized I was way happier off that team and now feel I’m contributing more. My old team did have about a 50% turnover in a 2 year period. I’m just at WF to work and collect a paycheck.
The latest doesn’t know me and hasn’t tried to.
I’ve had 3 managers in the last year. Two were displaced and recent one is trying to figure out what we do and separates those of us who were orphaned in from the rest of their group. So hopefully the displacement trend will finally trickle down to me, soon. Although I would have expected us to go with or before the displaced Managers.
Who cares? My boss is a spineless wimp who is so afraid of his boss he has no personality left at all. I have absolutely no reason to respect him or care what he thinks. If someone asked him if he liked me he would have to go ask his boss what to say. Just waiting to kick off my retirement with that sweet, sweet severance.
After working for the same boss for a few years, I can tell he does not let like or dislike cloud his way of managing. As a department we get things done as needed and that is his concern. Maybe it matters with other groups within Wells Fargo but not in our department.
The real question is, do we like our managers?
My manager is a corporate su-k up.. just a bobble head nodding along to whatever dei corporate bs is being spewed from her boss.
She has failed up so many times it would not surprise me if she runs the whole place soon.
Useless as a football bat
Yes, he gave me a tight hug and a wet kiss. It is all part of being in the good books of the boss
My manager prefers to hide in her island. She spends a couple of hours a day on phone calls where she has nothing to say. And lastly, she has proven to be completely untrustworthy!
So basically, most of her efforts are focused on filling her boss into thinking she adds any value.
No. Treats me like cr-p. Disparate treatment day in and day out. Others have told me she doesn't like that I am more knowledgeable, have better business cases and instincts, and am ETHICAL. But she is a political animal and will always win.
I don't respect her bc she sux as a manager and has no integrity. She's a box checker and plays favorites.
I don't know. I haven't had a dedicated mgr in going on 2 years now.
Determining whether your boss likes you or not based on limited information can be difficult. While interpersonal dynamics are complex and multifaceted, here are some considerations:
Professional vs. Personal: It's crucial to differentiate between being liked in a personal sense and being respected or valued professionally. Your boss might value your skills, work ethic, and contributions, even if you don't necessarily bond on a personal level.
Feedback: Pay attention to the feedback you receive. If your boss frequently acknowledges your achievements, gives constructive feedback, and invests in your professional growth, it's a good sign they value you.
Communication: Regular check-ins, discussions about your role, and future prospects indicate interest in your career and wellbeing.
Comparative Treatment: Observe how your boss treats others. If their behavior towards you is consistent with their behavior towards others, it might be their general management style.
Trust: If you're entrusted with significant tasks, responsibilities, and decision-making, it's likely that you are trusted and valued.
Interpersonal Dynamics: If your boss engages in casual conversations, asks about your wellbeing, or takes interest in your personal life, it's an indication of a positive personal relationship.
Understand Managerial Challenges: Being a manager can be challenging, and it's natural for there to be friction sometimes. Managers often have to make tough decisions, provide feedback, and handle conflicts. These tasks can sometimes be mistaken as personal dislikes when they're merely part of the job.
It's true that not all managers will like all their subordinates, and vice versa. If you genuinely feel that there might be an issue, consider having an open and honest conversation with your boss. Approach the topic delicately, expressing your interest in understanding how you can improve and build a better working relationship.
Lastly, it's important to remember that seeking external feedback, perhaps from mentors or colleagues, can provide additional perspective. If multiple people share similar sentiments or observations, it can help you identify areas of growth or areas where you're excelling.
Don’t care it’s business
@pjj+1oowy9kP It's fairly easy to tell if a supervisor truly likes you or if they are feigning friendship to be a snake. Your blanket statement shows you have zero leadership experience and require a "Boss".
I have had only one supervisor in my tenure @ Wells who was clearly using the team as a stepping stone. But there is a difference in doing this with malice vs doing this as normal career progression. I would imagine more than half of all employees desire move into a higher position regardless of what their role is.
I like my current supervisor and I wouldn't be upset if he cut me. There is a distinct line between a "friend" and "manager", and a manager morally shouldn't be crossing them. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen with favoritism and all. Just have to be realistic.
I have no idea what my "manager" does, it's a mystery. I've had a few good managers (very few) over the years, but the current one just takes up space.
She tolerates me. I’m the most senior of 6 direct reports. She looses me she goes to 5 bottom feeders who are constantly on PIPs (all surprisingly for legit reasons). With the hiring freeze for domestic rank and file Risk talent, my duties would go to Manila.. and that would cause questions as to whether or not to keep a struggling US team.
Stop calling them "boss". They will get more arrogant.
All bosses pretend that they care about you and they are your friends. But in reality, they don't care about you at all. They are ready to throw you under the bus any day. They never grew up since high school.
No, it is do I like my immediate supervisor, not does my boss like me.
