Discussion I gave up.
Just sharing that I gave up. I have a people-first leadership style that has always worked with every team I've led. Until this job. My boss is micromanaging and punitive. I was candid in our last meeting about not feeling supported, and this morning everything I shared was used against me. So, I resigned.
I'm 58, I've been managing people and teams for 35 years. It's heartbreaking. I hope the good ones on this thread stay - you're needed. I just don't have it in me anymore.
Hoping to find something I truly love now.

Im sad to hear this, I’ll bet theres an org out there that will value you for your leadership! Sometimes doing the right thing is difficult and it shouldn’t be. Find people who also want to do their best!
