View submission: Being grateful for your job

My problem in my job is my manager is incompetent and the incompetency forces my hand in fixing problems.

Its either I fix it now by strong-arming my way into authority, fix the screw ups later but have to politically backtrack, or do nothing be held liable for having the expertise but being negligent

I have had to do things that break my principles and it absolutely disgusts me. I don’t see much other option besides quitting and finding a new job, but work life balance is good

There isn’t much I can do in this situation though since even if my manager gets moved out of the way, I still have to do his job either way. Im doing leadership stuff I didn’t sign up for.

I dont know what to do really

If you have a present option to get a better job, do it. If you don’t, keep at it and only quit if you have another job waiting for you. Quitting without a backup is a risky behaviour.
