I’m 22F and recently started a new job. I was told by some colleagues of mine in our department to “beware of our manager and be-careful” because she is a liar, rude, treats us like crap because of her higher position. Thus I can’t say that I’m surprised she lied on me.
At the end of the day she sent us emails discussing what she wanted us to get done. I was already tasked to do something beforehand which is very time consuming and taking on something new was a lot on my plate.
So I spoke to my other manager (the kind one) about how I was feeling overwhelmed and she did agree and say it’s a lot to manage she will speak to my manager about it.
10 minutes later my manager called me and other colleague in her office. She said that there was some kind of mix up in that the colleague beside me in the meeting was supposed to do the task she emailed me. Then in the same breath she said that I agreed to taking on this new task. I was stunned…as she sent the email telling us what SHE wanted me to do so how could I have agreed to it???
She continued to talk down to me and made me look incompetent at my job. I am not a confrontational person so instead of fighting back I sat there and took all of it.
She essentially made a mistake when assigning the tasks as my other colleague in the meeting was trained in it and I wasn’t and instead of owning up she blamed it on me.
She makes me feel extremely uncomfortable I tend to avoid her as much as I can and lay low.
