I am working for a bank where I have been layered by a boss who has hired multiple of his mediocre former colleagues. The boss himself joined last year and has been hiring these people ever since. Everyone who works here can see what’s going on, except it seems the senior management. I have been loyal to this place. Should I leave?

This sounds like fine advice although I fear that you might be an AI

Often it happens the boss received a new role at a company then requested some of the employees they worked with to be hired in leading jobs. The workers who have been at the Bank for years been loyal and reliable are in fact good citizens of the company deserve to be added to the list for promotions within the department. longevity, tends to build great cohesive teams that ultimately keep the company running smoothly. Ponder before deciding to leave there are ways besides moving to another Financial Institution. How is the new manager treating all of the workers are you being included in the programs and initiatives being established, do you feel like a valued employee opportunities are still possible at the company.

The grass might just look greener on the other side. But honestly, most of the time, it’s the same old story, especially with new management, where trust matters. Try to get a better feel for the teams you’re tackling, and be honest with yourself about your self-assessment, as the market is tough these days. Best of luck with any choice you’re about to make.

No, you should not, Milton. As long as it doesn’t harm your career, it doesn’t matter who he hires or not. Instead, what you can focus on is giving your best and ensuring you earn respect and a place for yourself in your manager’s perception.

In that case, I would still advise you to remain calm and patient. If any other opportunity arises within the organization, then you can look for those. Trust me, mediocrity doesn’t last long, and seeing your work, your manager and people around you will realize it, but it requires a lot of maturity on your part to be calm and keep up your good work. I understand the situation, but don’t get demotivated by such instances; they happen everywhere in every organization.

It’s a Bank my friend. This guy will be gone in a couple years. Reorg etc. This seems to be the only way banks know how to build teams and by extension products (Given they are not stuck in the ancient ways of vendoroops!)
If anyone has read the playbook this trick is coming from please tip me off to it!
Sounds like typical behaviour to me - many senior hires bring in familiar faces, so it won’t be that the other senior management don’t see it as much as they are all at it too so don’t see it as a problem.
Why does it impact you so much that you want to leave? It won’t necessarily be any different anywhere else.
