More navel-gazing
Nothing makes you contemplate why on earth are you doing your current job like doing your assessment and development plan.
It is so odd. Up to five months ago I loved this job. I still am excited by what I see as being the key duties of this job. But this is all being eroded by my new manager, who seems to see my key duties as being quite different but isn't willing to re-write my deliverables*. His version of my key duties seems to be 1-a whole bunch of stuff that I have no interest in whatsover and 2-changing from week to week. I never know where I stand with him. I have no idea how to raise this with him.
All I can think of is saying to him in my meeting tomorrow "You realise that I am extremely miserable in my job and have been thinking about leaving every day for the last two months? The only reason I am staying is because I really really like the product that I am supposed to be developing and you are trying to take this away from me."
*I think I am supposed to re-write them for him. I haven't so far because I actually want to do what my job description says.
