The GM at the job I quit was like that. He had no clear idea of what he wanted the business to be. He was constantly asking people to prepare proposals that were then discarded in favor of something else. Those sorts of situations are so chaotic it's hard to focus or know what is expected of you.

I definitely lost my motivation. The last few times he asked me to research things, I spent half an hour looking for a few related websites in case he asked. By that point, he never even asked me about those topics again.

And of course, he was one to shoot the messenger. Once he asked a woman for a quote on some work. She said she had some past experience with companies that did that type of work, and what he wanted was going to cost 10 million pesos at an absolute minimum. He said okay. At the next meeting, she said it would cost about 12 million pesos. He exploded, mad at her, because he thought it was expensive.
