I just started here three months ago. When I started I could immediately tell something was wrong. I was the only person directly under her for a team of six people, and I had much more stringent requirements than the other people on the team. She would show me things so fast it was impossible to absorb or take notes, and if I messed up she’d always say “I thought I showed you this once”.
The day after I got access to the systems I needed she loaded me up with 80 assignments from the person who was just let go and then turned on my regular work flow. I worked 60 hours a week to try to get up to speed thinking it’d get better. I got the queue down and she proceeded to transfer 50 lines of someone else’s work last week and another 50 this week.
She criticizes me down to my highlighting, font choice, and spacing paragraphs on emails. The second I turn on my computer in the morning she calls me. And she proceeds to call me multiple times during the day. If I don’t answer she makes snide comments about why I’m not at my desk. I believe she’s actively monitoring my emails and teams text because she mentions things she wouldn’t know otherwise.
Why is she doing this? How do I survive this? Am I right my only real option is to try and survive till I find another job? Going above her I’m afraid she’ll just go even harder at me.
