Anon account for obvious reasons. So I have many years experience in management in another field. I decided to take a large pay cut to have the ability to work remote. I have been on the team for 9 months now and have performed very well and not made any real waves until now. So I always bust my ass and work very diligently and efficiently to complete as much work as possible. On our monthly reports I have always exceeded performance.
Anyways recently I noticed that about 6 of our 20 person team all get schedule shift changes. They get to leave a whole 3-4 hours earlier than their initial schedule. Apparently while I was off for a week for jury duty they all discussed their preferred shift and were granted those. I was not included in those conversations or given that option. This was about 2 months ago… so I didn’t say anything but I could tell that I was starting to feel hurt about it because here I am working hard, taking lots of work, never calling out, and taking more responsibility but for what? So finally this week I brought it to my boss’s attention that it bothered me and I have noticed new people now starting to leave early that were just hired. I noticed because we are in a team chat and part of my responsibilities was to watch in the chat to see if any teammates had questions for 3 hours during the day. Anyways when I brought this up to my supervisor and manager my manager got extremely pissed. She had me call her and then said it concerns her that I am “tracking people” and that really bothered me because I am not tracking people. I just see in the chat but on top of it I have obsessive compulsive disorder which causes me to notice things. Also they kept trying to get me to say I did not feel excluded from the schedule change but I couldn’t because I do and did feel excluded. So long story short my manager was saying things on the phone like “I don’t think it’s funny I’m not laughing” when I wasn’t laughing. I was clearing my throat and actually was crying. At the end of the 1 hour convo when I would not agree that I was not excluded they gave me a shift change. I also disclosed my OCD. Which in response my manager was like “I know I have things I do too.” I had to say no this is diagnosed by a medical professional. Anyways I’m leaving that conversation feeling ashamed and guilty for refusing more work for no reward and then sticking up for myself about not having the shift change option. My manager was scolding me on the phone and she was saying she is going to take work from me because of the time change in my shift. Which guys… I don’t care I am entry level and was only doing work above my grade because I had the ability. I make entry level money.
Sorry for the formatting… laying in bed and the thoughts are consuming me.
Anyone have any input on how to proceed or why this evoked such a reaction from my manager?
