SG employee says 'toxic' manager contributes little beyond 'Claude decks and gossips'

SINGAPORE: Having to remind your boss to check her emails, turn up for meetings, and find a presentation you have already sent her five times is one thing.

SG employee says 'toxic' manager contributes little beyond 'Claude decks and gossips'

In a recent post on the r/singaporejobs subreddit, a Singapore employee shared their frustrations with a "toxic" manager they describe as producing little value beyond "Claude decks and gossip." The employee complained that their manager regularly forgets tasks, interrupts meetings and presentations, and makes irrelevant comments, despite having worked at the company for eight years.

They also noted that the manager never stays in the office, frequently arrives late due to a refusal to take public transport, and apparently spends a considerable amount on Grab rides. The employee expressed concern about needing a recommendation from this manager for future job applications, given the manager's refusal to provide one.

In the comments section, other users shared similar experiences with problematic managers, recounting instances of false promises, lack of helpfulness, and a tendency to spread rumors and lies about their colleagues.
