"Empty suit" is a slang term for "an executive, manager, or official regarded as ineffectual, incompetent, or lacking in leadership qualities such as creativity and empathy." Your manager who can't get anything done and then blames you until you break down in tears is an empty suit.
In my long career working in offices, Empty Suits, both male and female, were plentiful and quite distressing.
