As a Junior

Develop self-learning abilities
Develop the ability to read your supervisor’s emotions
As a Senior
Find somewhere else. No comment.
Strictly speaking, the problem is the people.
The actual difficulty of the work is not that high.
The following is based on a single case.
Not all supervisors are like this.
A senior executive took over less than a year ago, and four people under them have already resigned.
On average, one person resigns every two months.
Indecisive in making decisions,
with major changes based on their emotions,
and unable to offer substantive suggestions.
Many decisions are made purely by intuition.
A proposal that is approved today may be completely overturned tomorrow.
After a proposal is confirmed, if problems arise later,
they will directly shirk responsibility, publicly criticize and shame you, and speak ill of you behind your back.
Their thinking regarding integrated planning and scheduling needs reconsideration.
Whenever a project or collaboration opportunity comes along, they accept it without hesitation,
then cram it into the promotional campaign for the new products being pushed that period.
They do not consider the schedule, workload, or overall effectiveness of each individual collaboration, resulting in a highly chaotic work sequence and schedule. The division of responsibilities is also extremely unclear, and the work content may be swapped out at any time. The supervisor personally contacts all points of contact, but the communication content and information are not synchronized. Those carrying out the work cannot see the overall project progress or the actual details of the discussions.
The supervisor is extremely forgetful. For matters they have not handled personally, they will directly push them onto you and make you take the blame. Their way of speaking and personal conduct are also highly questionable. If you want to experience workplace bullying and emotional blackmail, come and give it a try.
I had never had a book thrown at me in my life, but I experienced it here: )
They enjoy lecturing at length about the shortcomings and faults of various people in the company. Sometimes, even when work is busy, you need to set it aside to help them relieve their emotions, because being in a bad mood affects their work decisions (as described in the first point).
This is also why I mentioned earlier:
As a senior, find somewhere else better.
As a junior, if you really have no other choice, come here.
God bless you on a wonderful journey.
