We’re both longtime contract employees without job security. She has been trying to get our job duties officially changed and to point out problems with the ways I’ve been working.
We work between two departments and she tried to make changes several months ago and one dept said no. Now she’s got the other dept scheduling a meeting with us to discuss her suggested changes.
We could each just keep doing our work without issue as our jobs don’t intersect. In fact she could just make changes herself in her own work (we have freedom as long as the work gets done and follows certain requirements), but she insists on bringing me into it.
She has talked crap on me in the past (per a trusted coworker) and I feel she’s trying to show me up now and to take over some of my hours (hours are not guaranteed by our contract). I know it sounds paranoid but I have reason not to trust her.
My plan is just to go to the meeting and be as quiet and polite as possible. If you have any other ideas for a work situation like this, please let me know.
