Has anyone had a manager whose entire career story never seemed to add up?
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this because I work remote and thought he was a bot or AI generated lol.
My manager has a habit of telling stories about their career, and at first I thought they just had an unusually impressive background. They’ve mentioned running operations for a major international airline across an entire country, being a senior executive at multiple global banks, and personally creating sales strategies that completely changed how those organizations sold. There always seems to be another incredible story.
After a while, I started noticing that the details didn’t always match. The timeline changes, the responsibilities change, and sometimes the same story is told in a completely different way a few months later. Whenever someone asks for more detail, the conversation tends to move on pretty quickly.
What makes it even stranger is that they don’t seem particularly competent in their current role. They struggle with basic leadership, give conflicting direction, avoid accountability, and create more confusion than clarity. The team has had high turnover, morale is poor, and several people have left because of the environment.
Over the past year, I’ve heard that multiple employees have gone to HR about their management style. Nothing seems to have changed, and they’re still leading the team.
Has anyone dealt with a manager like this? Did you ever find out whether the stories were exaggerated, or did you just accept that some people create their own version of their career? How did you handle working for someone you found difficult to trust? Could he be a NPC?
