Hey guys,
I was promoted last October from SDR team lead to AE.
(flashback story) in Q1 '22 - I was the only SDR and was firing on all cylinders. Booking left and right (ended up being at 180%). but one of the AEs (now my boss) was busy in their masters program and wouldn't let me book outbound meetings for them so I gave them to the other AEs. I found out from a laid off AE that they called a meeting with not only my boss but the co-founder and the other directors saying I shouldn't be promoted because of this.
So I found this out and it feels like I shouldn't trust my new manager. But on top of all this, I am not growing and not happy under this manager.
I had a recap call after a client call and the manager was really condescending. They don't coach, they tell me what to do. When they are on my calls, they sell over me. When.I send recap emails, they want to reword them and approve them before I send.
All of this and the product we sell has significantly been impacted by the recession so I can feel it's only going to get worse.
The reason I want to stay is the good comp ($160 ote). Good work life balance. I am confident in my ability to sell in the space.
What would you do?
