Is this normal from managers?
Generally are managers supportive or not? The managers I have had in the past have not been very supportive. I don't mind being worked long hours or have stuff dropped on me at the last minute as that is part of the job.
However my current and past managers have been the sort of people to go on screaming rants over very minor things including any requests for help or clarification. My last manager would stand in front of everyone and shout out profanities at me and berate me for things which were her fault. It got really bad to the point where I left after 3 months.
My current manager will single me out and treat me completely different from how other managers treat their staff. There is a lot more expected of me with hardly any help. If I do ever ask for help I get threatened with a disciplinary. I have performed better than every other person at the same grade as me even though everyone else has seemingly unlimited support.
Other people have noticed I am being treated differently and people have overheard my manager speaking to senior managers about me being a trouble maker.
Is this normal from managers especially in finance?
I am 7 months into my current job and I don't want to leave as I don't want to become a job hopper. Since I left university 18 months ago this is my second job.
I have been looking for an internal position which are plenty available but I am haven't had luck yet.
Short answer-it can be hit or miss
Long answer- I tend to believe that managers tend to be less supportive because of the way the system works, i.e if you're really good at doing the actual work you should be able to supervise the actual work. In context, that sounds correct, but mainly it is not true, because they are different skill sets. Think about an athlete or an actor, would they make the best coach or director? Sometimes, but a lot of times those positions require different skill sets.
Good managers, aka leaders, have to learn and be taught how to lead. I know I come across this personally because I feel I am a great leader, but most people I've worked under don't do the obvious things.
Also keep in mind that as much as you are under pressure to get a job done, your manager is also a person and is under their own pressure, but in and outside of work. Additionally, being labeled as a trouble maker is not a bad thing. As an example, image if your boss asked you to copy work from a competitor and present it as your own. If you state an obligation to doing that, your boss may hold you in a negative light; however, outsiders would mostly understand copy working is wrong.
Your manager sounds like a huge douchebag. If I was ever yelled at or talked down to condescendingly by an MD at my bank, the president would can his/her ass immediately. Try to land a job elsewhere at a bank where there’s a zero tolerance policy for acting like a cunt; that way, you won’t have to deal with being surrounded by a bunch of childish coconut-heads day-in and day-out. Behavior like that is unacceptable for a grown man/woman, and anyone that excuses it should be shot in the cock.
