My boss and I have been having some issues, well, ever since he started, but it's really coming to a boil this past month. He bullies me, lies, and only gives me remedial, boring work. Tells me he'll help me promote, give me a flex schedule, but only IF I meet my “core duties”. He won't tell me his expectations or priorities.
Yesterday in a meeting about my recent performance review he attacked my self- esteem, misrepresented multiple situations throughout the year to try to make me look difficult, and is hypercritical. It's the personal attack that really hurt me and I'm embarrassed.
I want to call out sick today and tell him it's because of what he said in the meeting, cc his boss and one of the co-workers for whom I have a project due today.
I probably shouldn't drop the ball on my coworker like that. Or drag them into the drama.
What would you do?
