[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude, she is fishing for information about what your coworkers said about her.  Come on OP.  HR is involved, think.  Do not speak.[/quote]

+1 as PPs said, suggest a 360 review to get more comprehensive feedback. If 4 people have already fled due to her management style and nothing has changed, chances are she’s not great at self reflection and making needed changes.

I have a supervisor with similar frustrating traits such as lack of clarity with instructions, being scattered, and the tendency to unnecessarily spiral and overcomplicate issues. BUT we have a good rapport and she is open to feedback in the sense of how I can more successfully work with her. I have to frequently ask specifically what action item is next instead of assuming, and professionally give her reality checks. It can get very annoying and is extra work on my part, but it’s worked. She has other positive traits though such as advocating for the team to senior leadership, humility, and some willingness to adapt. She hasn’t run anybody out yet. And I’m certainly not perfect either![/quote]
