I work in medical admin I was recently a small part of a project that made me crazy for so many reasons. In light of recent events I'm now reconsidering staying at my current company.
My part was transferring data from one system to another. In the big picture I was a very tiny piece.
There were 2 project leads and one project manager. One of the projects leads quit in the middle of the transition and the replacement came into a nightmare. The second project lead is the one making me think of resigning.
I have worked with her for about 5 or 6 years but in different departments.. She started off as a CSR and somehow became a manager and then an administrator. (her education is cosmetology)
Our company is known for promoting staff who have very little formal education to management positions.
To make a long story short, the project she led was a complete disaster (not my small part).
As a manager, she is disorganized, easily overwhelmed, has poor follow through and is quick to blame others....other people weren't doing what they were supposed to.
While we worked on this project I saw her poor decision making skills, poor communication skills and inability to prioritize first hand. Honestly, it didn't matter to me because it was her name, not mine
I assumed when the project was over I would be done with her but to my surprise, because of staffing issues she became the manager of department and I now report to her.
My concern is this....she is now in charge of my department which for the most part works well. I have no confidence that if I do have to bring issues to her she is capable of handling them. I don't trust her as a manager or a person.
Should I speak up or keep my mouth shut?

Why do you think you should speak up? Do you think they'll sack her on your say so?
