My manager complains about the time I waste. I send invoices, file things away, answer calls. Sometimes, when I've done my daily tasks all I have left is wait for the phone to ring. My job doesn't take 8 hours but since our phones are on for 8 hours, I'm here. Occasionally, I will have a situation arise that I don't know how to handle and I have learned not to ask him for help because his response is: “Figure it out,”. So, things pile up on my desk because I don't know what to do about them. Today I said to him, “When you say things like “Figure it out,” it is not helpful to me. It causes me stress, anxiety, and makes me feel like I can't ask questions to you or anyone. So things pile up on my desk and don't get done because I CAN'T figure it out and have no one to turn to. In the future, please be more helpful so we can run a better office,”.
This manager plays frequent mind games with most of the staff here and belittles people. I applied for another job and am waiting to hear back. This person is the NUMBER ONE reason I hate this job.
