I love my job but it is so taxing recently. I work in research and my current job isn’t what I went to school for. I am using this time to grow my skills and then continue into grad school. I keep telling myself I can quit any single day but never do. I come home depressed because my boss from h*ll is just doing the absolute most. She’s 60 years old and refuses to get with the times. I keep trying to help her but I guess she’s old fashioned. She bad mouths me in front of our other coworkers and recently she has been giving major attitudes in front of our clients and higher level people we work with. She gives the wrong information out to people because she cannot be bothered to learn what we do for work. I nicely correct her but she just gets mad at me. She doesn’t even make an effort to hide it. You can see her be passive aggressive and roll her eyes to the back of her head. She’s done this the whole time I’ve worked with her (2 years) and she continues to get worse. If she has personal problems, she can leave it at home or get some help. I was using a blue pen one time and she threatened to fire me. I had a relative die and she told me not to bring any emotion at work. She talks mad shiz about the girl before me. I’m honestly not surprised that she left and ran for her life for better opportunities.
I’m just looking for an outlet to vent. I have no idea how to approach her at all. I get older each day and more wrinkles come from the stress. Does anyone have any recommendations? How does one simply stay at a job they hate ?
