My wonderful boss
so apparently I have a boss with personal issues and have no idea what to do with them except put them out on me. You may say I am imagining this, oh its not that bad, you just dont like her because she is the bossman but no. not the case. She called me into her office one day and told me I need to be more incentive ( spelled right? ) or initiative at my job. This is me confused. Not to brag, I do very well at my work ( its not rocket science, its paper work) put a warrant in, take it out, citations, pawn tickets, etc. Sure there are a lot of shit to do but I get them done. Her words I guess was "Make sure you grab the papers out of the box, get them done when you have nothing to do, ( which she changes her mind often "leave those for nightshift" so you cant win) Make sure you check your coworker's work right after she is done ( while I have other things to do also) oh and you missed a number on this here Vin for a missing car, I'll have to write you up for carelessness ( say what? ) and so on and so on. Then says if she doesnt see changes after my 6 month probation, she'll let me go. I listen, politely like I'm suposed to, I dont talk back, get smart with her. I say yes ma'am and fix whatever needs to be fix. Which is not a big deal but the kind of person she is, she actually acts like the world will crash down. for the past days each time she goes into my office and says I need to correct this ( it was fine) make sure you do that (I'll make sure its on my No Shit list). Now get this, whenever she talks to me like a child, and corrects me or tries to, I do the usual blank "yes ma'am" and be on my merry way. She gets confused. She is wondering why I am not being smart with her or pick a fight with her BECAUSE I WAS NOT RAISED THAT WAY. And this might intimidate her or piss her off because she expects a fight. She told me other co workers what she said about me and they all say the same thing "Alia is doing great, what is she doing wrong? She is much better then the other two new hires" And I know she wont let me go but its getting tiring for her to come and talk to me like a child and be on my ass each time she comes into the room. SO I do take small pleasure when I give her my blank look and confuse her. Reason I heard from others why she picks on me because the two new hires are related to so and so and know so and so , so that she doesnt want word to go back to the big guy ( whoever that is) boy will she be surprised if she keeps this up. She has personal issues and doesnt know how to treat people. I know what they are but you will have to ask me. It invovles 3 marraiges, non committed boyfriend and daughter in law who made her do grandparenting classes ( she just had her first grandchild) and one weekday visit. Fine, I know you have gone through shit, I dont care, let me do my job and stop picking on me based on your mood. I have coworkers backing me up on this. She wants to be your friend "but I am your boss". Dont want to be your friend. I have been friendly to her, listening quietly to what she wants done, never talk back and I get shit from her. If this doesnt let up after the probabtion I'm just gonna look for another job. Its in Novemeber.
