I work in a team of 6. The others on the team have been working here for 10 years or more. I have gotten help from them at times and they have been great. But, they don't seem to have any of the problems I am having. I have been in other jobs with bad managers, but in those jobs my teammates had the same problems--we were together in fixing them. Not here.

Yes, I would have to be careful what I say to his manager or my teammates. My initial thoughts are to depersonalize my statements instead of mentioning the bad manager. Something like "since I am fairly new to the team, what is the best way for me to get informed of..."

It is difficult. When your manager is causing problems, you have to find ways to work around him/her. The problems go unaddressed unless you speak up. If you speak up, there is risk of it backfiring.
