Each time my boss is asked by another supervisor for my help on a project my boss agrees at first, but then after a week my boss begins to get Antsy about it and started bothering me about when “I will get that project done”. Typically these projects are high priority items that are higher priority to whatever he has for me to work on.
If he has a high priority item that comes up it doesn’t seem like he communicates this to the other supervisors…. He also doesn’t give me much work anyways so it’s weird that he’s bothered by me working on other things. Seems like he just wants me to be available for whenever “something happens” and I can tell he has anxiety.
Just doesn’t seem like he respects other supervisors high priority items and tries to set deadlines for me for other people’s projects.
My coworker says I have to start putting my foot down but not sure how to professionally communicate this with him???
