Me: takes lunch and goes to a 30 minute meeting then checks email and attends to bosses needs.
Boss: why wasn’t this handled earlier
Me: the email came through while I was on lunch and then I went straight to the meeting checked emails and handled accordingly.
Boss: you should have went to your meeting later, this was more important.
Me: you could have called or handled it. (It took like 2 mins to do if that)
Boss: I asked you to do it.
Boss: created a fake scenario in which the worse case scenario happens if I don’t handle.
Me: still going back and forth.
I dealt with this for a year with glimmers of kindness here and there. Was I micromanaged? After being let go, I’m trying to heal and take accountability but also trying to see if this is normal?
