Just got told by a colleague that my superior got (supposedly) really mad at me for “not minding my own bussiness” basically.

Reality was a whole department was about to fall away for 3 weeks because the only person running it was going on vacation. No communication, no beforehand email (would've appreciated a heads up a month prior for example), anything.

I knew how to handle her tasks and out of necessity picked them up for just one day and another day some more until things were under control. I really felt proud and like I did a good thing for this company by not letting it run into a shit show. I really did. Turns out he thinks I should've not done that and is now mad at me? He's a character to say the least but I won't get into it too much.

I JUST applied to a job within this company that would get me higher up, I truly feel like I am a great asset for this company and that function especially, but feel like my chances are ruined now because he's the one that takes the interview and I feel like he never really liked me. I really needed this job, because times have been rough and I'm simply just not making enough atm to get by. This almost feels like a case of, if it were somebody else he did like, he would've praised the person for it.

Idk man. I feel so pissed and demotivated rn. Fuck this shit.
