I work in an IT company and off late, I am seeing a lot of negativity build up within the team. This has probably to do with AI and layoff related worries.
However, my question is more pertaining to dealing with my manager.
She tries to spread lot of fear within the team and even though, it is understandable upto a certain level that it is because of higher management and she has to pass on their message. However, at times, it does feel like she takes some liberty and mixes/uses that to add her own degreee of fear and indirectly pressurize people to work extra.
I also see her being biased.
Even though, she herself works/puts in lots of extra hours, I feel like that indirectly causes us to to get impacted, in the sense that she then expects us also to put in extra hours without any complaints.
Again, she does not say anything directly as such...but her behavior/tendency to be biased towards people who work extra kind of communicates that message.
She also seems arrogant at times and has lot of ego and makes it seem like she is herself working hard and delivering things and tries to belittle the efforts of others.
Again, at the risk of having gender bias attitude, I somehow feel that this has probably to do with female tendency, but they tend to create confusion...coz having worked under male managers earlier, I did not feel similar.
I am aware that she has some personal issues dealing with aging mother, but I fail to understand why she works like crazy if she cannot cope. I get the feeling that work seems like an escape from something for her which is why she works so much and creates all sorts of chaos. Somewhere, her attitude is like why should I alone suffer.
Personally, I feel she is biased towards me also and at times, it gets too much to deal with her and I do feel like cursing her badly.

Just to add, personally while it is not that I do not deliver things, but I work more consistently avoiding stretching hours...And I have read in the scriptures that one should work in a moderate fashing and not work like asses. However, in this case, it seems to me that it impacts by not being as per her mindset.
