Redefining Hostile...
Maybe I haven't been working long enough, or else, my blinders have covered my head for far too long... but I do believe that I'm in this nice little situation where the Chief D. is demonstrating visible passive aggresive hostile tendencies at a rate where black holes would have been sucked in and spewed out for ages now.
When there's something to be done pronto, it's: H! Go do this. Else; it's - "who are you again?" It's civility when in the presence of higher level administration, and hostile silence when there's no one else to witness. Oh, and sarcasm/belittlement when in the presence of peer and direct report coworkers.
Years ago, I was given the authority to give directions to various members of the office for adminstrative functions [when those members were available]. Today, that authority has been stripped, and moreover, the whole scenario sounds as if I'd given directions that weren't part of the administrative function. What he giveth, he taketh away. I must be a power-mongering arrogant peon at the rate we're counting the descriptors.
I need to assess what my KSA's are, and where everything is applicable. I'm revising that six month timeline to something closer to four. Right after a potential NYC trip if nothing else.
Even a morning of hearing Charlie Brown songs mixed with Ms Chenoweth are doing nothing to decrease the escalated stress levels.
Right now, anything on the East Coast that'll let me travel for two to three weeks a year (vacation wise) is looking a heckuva lot more tempting than the fact that I've given 9½ years of my life (in one way or another) to this company.
