She complains about everybody’s work. This person is taking too long to do this task even tho our boss reassigned her to another task. That person is just an order taker. This other person should be embarrassed of their PowerPoint. (I had no idea until I started this job but apparently some people are real snobby about PowerPoint.)
She hates our vendor team and yells at me when I try to align them on the requirements for the project. “Don’t help them. Let them struggle.” Like, WTF am I supposed to let them waste another two hours meeting time instead of taking ten minutes to help them understand something? Meanwhile we’re extending our project timeline and I’m the one that has to pull together the change order.
If I have a meeting and she can’t make it and I try to recap it for her she gets annoyed and tells me to just tell her the conclusions. If I only tell her the conclusions she wants more details but if I type more than two sentences she accuses me of writing a novel.
It feels like an impossible situation. If I ask a question or state a fact it’s the wrong question or a waste of time and what was I thinking asking that?
I’m really starting to feel crazy/stupid/incompetent. I’ve been freezing up because as soon as I turn anything in, I’ll be ripped a new one.
They’ve been dangling a conversion to FTE over my head but I’m starting to worry that things will only get worse if I go full time. Getting resume updated but no guarantee I’ll find anything and even if I do, it could be this bad or worse.
