So, I worked at the payroll department in a company with offices all over the world. I handle most of Europe. We got a new boss in february, It was an improvement, up until a few couple of weeks. He always makes us work extra time so we finish thing for other departments (they don't do the same for us) and he tells us not to go to other departments for information we might need. If we need information, try google it or figure it out. It's worth mentioning, other departments do come to us for information (information like banking deadlines for wire tranfers, or how do we check branch expenses…)
Things like this have been increasing the last couple of weeks. Today somethign else happened. Three months ago he decided to create a new process that will leave one departments out of the loop in some invoices we check (which kind of makes sense, since those departments are not really involved. They were just double checking our work). I implemented said process and thigs were going smothly. This month a teammate resigned for something better (lucky him) and I am handling his countries. Apparently he missed to iniciate the process for one of them, so I did.
Now, he has spent the last 10 minutes reprimanding me because I initiated the process. I should have done it smother, with several emails asking for their cooperation. Also, he accused me of being rude, which i was 100% not. I simply mentioned that I already sent an email about the subject a couple of weeks ago and that this is the new process we implemented. I am kind of a people pleaser, so i know for a fact I was not rude.
Anyway, he has been having this outburst with some other things. One thing that did cross my mind was that, in two weeks I have my yearly performance check and if its positive I would get an increase and a bonus, and now I think he might be picking this kind of “arguments” so he can shove them im my check
I struggle with anxiety and depression, and this kind of things really affect me. We live with the constant fear of loosing our jobs and its paralizing to me.
I am 27. I did believe the whole lie of “study and you will have a great job with great salary”, so I havea college and masters degree, I still have roomates, and with the current system I wont be able to think to buy a house until I am at least 30.
This is fucked up.
