Since I joining this company two years ago, I got only little training for my job. on the first 1.5 months of my career there, my senior quit from her job and leave me alone with only little understanding of "know how" to run the stuffs. I can say I'm struggling so hard ever since, to gain the knowledge I need to manage my job. at that time I must handle a lot of new things that even never cross in my mind before. the situation even getting worst, my manager (at that time she is a section head) refuse to help me by leaving me with no solution every time I ask how to solve the problems that beyond my reach. every question I have been asked ended up with "why you ask stupid questions to me?" or "you can start dig your retired senior computer to find the solution". the second useless solution here lead me to thousands of unidentified data at that time, i nearly cant understand how to read or to find the data I need. just like seeking something that you even don't have any idea what its like in a large crowded field. with hard work I manage to finds the solution by my self. but my maturity is not fully developed, and its absolutely takes more time to develop your self with very minimum guide provided by your superior. not mentioning how hard the process to reach every single goal. I know I have great chance to enhance my skills if only she want to cooperate better. my question is: 1. How to deal with this type of boss? 2. Talking to her will be means suicide, any other idea? Thanks in advance for your advice! well… up to this point I start thinking to leave my current job to seek a new one. my manager looks like she have no adequate leadership and how to manage things for good in the first place.

I know I have great chance to enhance my skills if only she want to cooperate better.
my question is:

1. How to deal with this type of boss?
2. Talking to her will be means suicide, any other idea?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

It's bad enough the way he treats you, but then he blocks your transfer, when you've already been told by the new manager you can work in his group? what do you do when your boss then blocks your attempts to transfer?
