I’m a new catering manager for a small company, and my event coordinator gets angry at me so easily. I’m not telling my team to work enough, I’m not moving fast enough, etc. I really think she just doesn’t have faith in my abilities and gets angry when things aren’t done her way. She lets it go with most people except people she views as directly under her orders.
She’s gotten angry with me for sending one of my team members home when we were overstaffed. It’s her expressions; her reactions and tone that reflects how angry she is with me, and me being a more calm person it’s very difficult to work along someone with a short fuse.
She works directly under my manager, so in a way I do go to her to call the shots, but I’ve been here for five years and worked very hard and feel I should be allowed liberties to make executive decisions and be trusted with my staff, why else would I be accepted for this role? I don’t know what to do, if I should just quit and find something else or stick it out.
