I’m not sure if this is the right community for this but I just needed to rant to people that may be able to understand my frustration.
I’ve temporarily relocated to a different office location and a different team. i only have 2 months left but every single day at that job is my own personal hell.
As with all micromanaging bosses, I’m treated like a dumb kid 24/7 – my boss requires me to work from the office in order to have greater supervision over me but actually works from home most of the time (she still messages and calls me on teams every hour or so). Everything with her is always super urgent (even when it’s not) and ALWAYS a matter of life and death even when most of my tasks are pointless (because she wont trust me with any of the real work).
She also fails to ever give me instructions. I will ask her and tell her i don’t know how to do something, and she will refer me to other members of the team to explain tasks to me (although most of the time i get no instructions – somehow she has all this time to chase me but no time when it comes to giving instructions).
After a few months in this department, i developed anxiety so bad i can’t sleep and get physically sick (nauseous) when i think about work. Every day, i’m on edge because everything i do is wrong and my boss loves pointing out when she thinks i’m underperforming.
Funnily enough, i transferred to this departament to get experience in that area of work but it feels like i haven’t learnt a thing. While my boss makes me think all my tasks are hyperimportant, they are mostly repetitive, admin tasks that have no influence on our business and provide no actual hands-on experience.
