My promotion was fucked by an internal client like this, who’s a manager that keeps failing upwards and sideways. His team members hate him, his VP doesn’t trust him and keeps putting additional managers on his project.
My team did everything - we saved his project from the edge of the cliff, reached milestones, onboarded contractors, and made the notoriously grumpy VP satisfied.
Yet that’s not enough, as I’m supposed to make this manchild happy.
Some people just love drama and panic, and others are too soft to push back on them, as they are uncomfortable with any type of conflict.
I dont understand how these managers get hired and stay on so long behaving that way

True, although for some the conflict simply isn’t worth it.
