Ok_Listen485's journey

I started a new job two months ago, and I’m feeling really overwhelmed and frustrated with my situation. I report directly to a supervisor, but the director of the department, who hired me, is the one I interact with more frequently. I found out early on that my supervisor has some quirks and that I was expected to manage him, which I wasn’t prepared for. The director told me I needed to ‘manage up,’ but I felt misled because I thought I was being hired for a different role. There’s no clear structure in my department, and it seems like no one is aligned on my portfolio. I’ve been trying to figure out what tasks my supervisor wants me to take over, but he hasn’t given me any concrete direction. We have daily check-ins that often last for hours, where I mostly just watch him work without gaining much myself. It’s mentally exhausting, and I feel like I’m not making any progress. My supervisor often keeps me past 5 PM or lets our meetings run into my lunch hour, which is really disrespectful of my time. I’ve brought up my concerns to both him and the director, but nothing has changed. Everyone else in the office seems to understand his work style and my frustrations, which makes me feel even more isolated. Just yesterday, after a long call, I had to hang up because it was past my working hours, and I was so frustrated that I almost cried. I took a mental health day today to regroup, but I’m seriously considering looking for a new job already. I know it's only been two months, but I’m feeling really unhappy and unsure about how to handle this situation.
