Clueless manager turns extreme micro-manager after i resigned

"Clueless" meaning manager has no technical experience in the work the team covers and not able to provide any form of guidance in functional work... no idea why manager was placed there in the first place...

anyway, i am currently serving notice... manager used to be hands-off with my core work and now breathing down my neck to handover everything.. i have only been in the role for less than 6 months and manager acts like i have been here for years.... the backdrop is, my predecessor is still in the same team and he knows way more than me.. i have already handed over most of the work to the relevant persons.

can u all suggest some ways that i can manage this ridiculous manager of mine pls.... how can i tell the manager respectfully that i have completed the handover and the predecessor knows more than me.... and for the manager to let me go on leave too so i can leave this horrendous place......

Sympathise with you but on the positive note you're leaving already so heck it!! Since your predecessor is more knowledgable, i would tell my boss that the most informed person would be XXX. Whatever you do, always have a backup plan and black and white to cover your ass.

Clear your leave so that you leave the trashy coy earlier. Gd luck!

Why is it in up markets fund managers are high beta, but in down markets sharpe ratios turn negative and then fees cause excess loss beyond ETFs? Does active management work when paying such high fees?

Which would you rather choose, workplace culture or high salary? Workplace culture with no micro managers, manageable workload or higher salary but targets/KPIs etc.

My job pays well, but the management is extremely unreasonable. Should I start looking for a new job?

Im a male, turning 30 soon, single. As i dont really have a social life, I have managed to amass a total of cash savings of $100,000++. But im still unhappy and mildly depressed. Is it normal? How can I find joy in life?

What is the AUM (Assets under management) a Robo-Advisor will truly need in order to breakeven and turn a profit, so we can know that robo-advisors are ultimately truly self-sustainable?
