Managing expectations for a first-time manager
Need some advice on how to manage my manager's expectations:
I joined the firm 6 months ago & my boss is a first-time manager. Literally 2 weeks into the job, he started complaining to senior management about how I'm not "adding value". My manager continuously asks me to do stuff outside of my "job description" or goals that we have discussed, which takes up 90% of my time. Then, he gets pissed off when none of the other "primary projects" get completed. I do pushback by telling him that I'm busy with other stuff, but he insists that I do all the other stuff as well (none of which is being communicated to senior management).
Its become very exhausting, I have been working pretty much balls to the walls, 8 AM to mid-night (sometimes 2 AM) on a constant basis (except weekends) now & my hours are substantially longer than any of my peers at my current firm.
How do I manage this situation?
P.S. I'm not in banking
