I always thought I had a “ good job”. I work remotely, I can semi make my schedule, the pay isn’t amazing but I can have 200 bucks to myself every month which is more than many people. However recently I’ve been so frustrated.
My boss has always been incompetent. She started with the company 20 years ago before we had investors and just kind of stayed under the radar all of these years, she’s never had another job. It used to not bother me because I’d see her once a week. Except recently our director left and my boss has had to take over until we hire someone and her stupidity is spilling over.
1) She’s been too busy with the changes so she had me interview candidates and help her with hiring someone ( not the director job, Someone equivalent to my job to help with extra work). I do all the work and come to find out this new girl, who I actually like, will be being trained by me, in the same position as me, but making 30k more than me. Her reasoning? She has no job experience but a masters degree
2) Shes been telling me to communicate things to other departments via email and will often crumble over their pushback emails and put the blame on me
3) She snaps at me constantly now when she doesn’t understand something. She’s worked here 20 years.. how do you not know how to use Microsoft word????
4) Other departments have been asking about me and seeing if I would do project with them and I heard my boss has been bad mouthing my work. I’ve been here 3 years and have stellar reviews, I do her job for her fine.
5) Everyday when I log in now, I wonder if I’m going to be in trouble for something she told me to do. The stress is just horrible.
I know it’s not as bad as some but the psychological warfare is really getting to me. Is the job market really bad out there? Should I suck it up and wait or just boat?
