This is absolute bonkers ! My ex-manager too did this. He asked us to read a book, and started asking random viva questions a week later and then acted disappointed that we hadn't even started reading.

Dude - my Outlook calendar has eaten meetings. I'll get an IM "are you joining"? and ... no meeting on the calendar.

Those are the worst, with last minute invites that you donโt see because it was within 10 minutes of the meeting starting

Anything that's not on my calendar, or was put 10-15 minutes before the start time, is definitely not something I attend. Even if that's important and even if I am not doing anything important - I won't join. I am called "a bitch", I guess I wake up to do justice to it everyday.

I had a bad fight with another AE one time at about a project, I basically accused of being sleazy and muscling his way into a job, needless to say lots of adult worlds were used. I talked to my boss about the culture issue, and he said this to me
โyou fuck him, next-time he fucks youโ
So that was funโฆ.

This is my skip level manager. Goes through phases (about every 6 mos) where he wants to have the option to join reps. Never attends any of my meetings.
You need to be more strategic with your outreach; Why are your activity levels so god-damned low?

Read my mind. You are too focused on getting this exactly right. You need to just start getting outreach out the door - guarantee it's better than what's happening today. Also my manager: have you checked news sources for quotes from the C level? Read the 10-K? Found out their position on x capability? Built out compelling messaging to speak to their vision?

Emailed my champion telling them they need to finalize the PO in week. This was done without my knowledge. Imagine my surprise fielding a very angry phone call from my champ.

"I am unwell, I won't be able to come to work tomorrow" a text sent to my manager a day before, at around 6Pm. She still proceeds to call me at 1am because she was working on something and was stuck - and only I had that piece of information. A FREAKING CALL AT 2AM !!!! WHILE I HAD FEVER !!!!
