I’ve been in my job 7 months and dealing with a terrible micromanager who wants me to check work emails on the weekend, stalks my Teams status and respond to emails as quickly as they’re sent out. If they’re cc’d on an emails, they respond before I can.
This person is a dinosaur, meaning they’ve been at the company for 30 years and people chalk the behavior up to ‘that’s just them’ which doesn’t make it ok.
I had a candid conversation and offered up feedback on work expectations and taking care of self first and I led with, to be successful in my role, this is what I need….As expected, they were defensive and I took they will not change.
I want to stay for at least a year to say I at least gave it a shot (and get my bonus) and here for suggestions on the best way to keep my sanity.
