I work in a small department and I have been here the longest. Longer than my boss or any of my team, including another manager that reports to the same boss.
The stress from work is giving me insomnia. Tonight, it’s the fact that I’m trapped working for this boss and with this awful coworker. I seriously question their judgment, and I’m so fucking sick of them taking credit for my work. I’m so sick of them making my job harder and always undermining my progress and kudos. I’m sick that my own success is linked to these two people — one of which is a cruel and conniving person; the other simply self involved and entitled. They are an echo chamber of irrelevant ideas and impractical solutions, usually to problems that don’t even exist.
I know the answer is to find a new job. Im working on it. In the meantime, every single day I feel like a fuck up despite being a valued and respected figure by other teams/departments/managers. I’m really disappointed.
None of the special certifications or training they promised me has been delivered. I can’t believe how this has played out. At least I’ve leveled up career/salary wise. This job is a joke and I’m sacrificing my health over it.
