Context for later: there is a girl I don’t really like on our team. She’s been here a couple months and I believe she is not held to the standard of accountability that the rest of our team is and doesn’t really do her job. And when she does do her job, she needs a lot of help or doesn’t do it correctly. I spoke to my boss about my feelings a few months ago in an effort to create a better working environment. I also have become close to one of my other coworkers who I now consider a close friend and her and this girl have had conflict recently.
We are absorbing a new team onto our team. I’ve spoken to my boss about my concern that my work load would grow because of this new team. And she guaranteed that extra work would not be added to my plate until I was being compensated for that work or resourced properly to take it on.
This week my boss offered my services to this new team. I was pissed so I asked to speak to her about it in our one on one time. At some point it was brought up that I didn’t feel supported and my boss asked for examples. I mentioned that it didn’t help when people on my team added work to my plate when I was already drowning. The girl I’m not fond of recently did this by framing her request as something would take me an hour max but turned out to take me a whole day. And this girl actually could have done this project on her own.
When I mentioned this, my boss said “are you just frustrated that this was an ask from “girl” or would you be less frustrated if the ask came directly from “friend”?” I was shocked and angry that should would imply this. This seems very unprofessional and there has never been an instance that I allow my personal feelings to impact my work.
I want to resign. A friend of mine is offering me a job and I am thinking about taking it. Is it crazy to leave a really good job over this?
