I think if you're in a company where you feel you can't bring an issue up to someone above you, something is wrong. I would go talk to someone about it or leave

I think if you're in a company where you feel you can't bring an issue up to someone above you, something is wrong. I would go talk to someone about it or leave the job.
My experience working with people who don't have discussions (or they only have "1" way ones) is they are bad at their job so they have to be defensive all the time.

- davidajackson 7y ago> You are the weakest link. >> OP: They never ask for anyone's opinion or advice. They seem to be intent on dictating everything. When they run a meeting, they do not let anyone discuss the topic. The meetings are highly controlled. This exec sounds like the weakest link. I have seen execs straight up make up revenue projections to match their agenda/plans... and it always ends badly.
- outworlder 7y ago> This exec sounds like the weakest link. You don't know how this exec managed to get their position. Also, if they are still at the stage they can fake their numbers, whatever these may be, OP is screwed. It may take time for the exec's obvious incompetence to start to show. EDIT: also, a manager or executive is NEVER in a weaker position compared to "individual contributors". They can still fire your ass until their last day of employment.
