I think the lesson here is to be very clear about what you are looking for in terms of role, scope, and development opportunities during the hiring process; negotiate and come to a clear understanding with your direct and skip level managers; and then hold them accountable in your one-on-ones. If they are not delivering on their end, put them on a PIP. (1) Remind them of what they agreed to, (2) inform them where / how they are not delivering, and (3) work out a plan and timeline to get things on track. If things do not improve then quit. This isn’t being difficult or demanding, it is managing upward. This also does not mean refuse to do things outside of your scope when needed — on a temporary basis.
