Thanks for responding, I really appreciate it :)

What happened is that the last 2 people in my role were complete fuckups. They basically ignored their job and my 2ic had to step in and take up a lot of the responsibility as well as trying to do his job.

It really hurt the team and they got fired when everything came out. So my line manager was the one to come in and clean everything up and "save" the team. Somewhere along the line, my line manager and 2ic became besties. My 2ic is incredibly rude and arrogant. I have one team member who's ready to quit if he isn't treated better.

When I brought it up to my line manager, he turned it around and tried to make it my fault. "It's bad leadership". As if I created this monster.

I'm in a corner. If I say something to my line manager, and he goes and blabs to my 2ic it'll just make my life worse than it already is. So the best I can do is shut up and try to deal with it.

I'm going to start putting out resumes this week and see what's out there. Everyone else is really cool and the job itself is great. It's a shame these dipshits are making it a shitshow.
