So I started my first office job about 4 months ago. First 2 months were ok kinda slow. The person who trained my had quit so I was kind of left on my own without anyone to monitor my work. I didn't slack or was being lazy, just not properly trained. So this coworker and I have the same job title, except she's been at the company for 4 years and therefore has more experience. She and I get called in my bosses office and boss decides to grill me and accuses me of not checking my emails. She goes over my emails and asks me what I did with them. My coworker was standing next me points out little mistakes to add even more fuel to the fire. Thats when I know she was the one to tell on me because she had access to my emails while I was gone for a day prior that week. She could have came to me, I just don't understand wht she took it to the boss who got upset with me
I was on top of my work and made sure I stayed on track. But my coworker started becoming overly nosy. Asking every hour if I was done with the task, messages me teams why I wasn't done with a task. Whenever she would teach me something, she would said “NO WATCH” in an aggresive tone which was really weird because she is usally very soft spoken and non confrontational. My boss said she will be stern but to not take it the wrong way. This made me feel so suffocated at work. I feel like everything is so structured. My coworker is the least understanding person and treats me like Im a child who needs to be disciplined. I'm at the bottom of the corporate ladder and doesn't help that I'm the youngest and the newest employee in my team. This is my first big girl job but sometimes I think I suck at it.
To fast forward, I had another meeting with my boss 2 weeks ago with my coworker. The day before the meeting, my coworker kept pestering me with “did u get this done” did u get that done. Little did I know she had a system in her computer that tracked my progress. It was the last straw when she came and said that my boss wants me to have this report done before 5 today. I was pissed. First the report assugned to me late due to errors in the system and now she wants me to get it done by 5. I'm usually wlvery calm and collected but I lost my shit that day. I told my coworker “not trying to be a bitch but im getting a little frustrated, are u emailibg the boss back and forth on my progress? Nvm, it doesnt even matter.” And she stormed off and said “ok, I'll let her know you said that” Thats when I knew I messed up but I wasn't angry at her, I was angry at the situation. They were pushing my limits every single day constantly on my case. And then I grt called in the meeting next day with my boss. My boss gets upset and tells me she is very unhappy with my work. Dissapointed that I said the b word and got mad at my coworker. It's so hypocritical though, because this coworker is very close to the other coworker who has a potty mouth and doesn't care. I was sweating like crazy during this whole meeting. I felt like I was being investigated. She pointed out my mistakes and showed me timestamps of when each entry was done on my report. I told them I had calls and emails. And my coworker sitting next to me goes” there were only 4 emails” and boss showed me list of my emails. Which I'm prerry sure my coworker printed it to show her. I cried alot not because I wanted bur because I was angry and I know I can't show anger. After the meeting ended my boss has the nerve to ask me If I was going to show up on monday. I said “yes why?” And my coworker laughs and says some people dont show up. Which raised a red flag for me and remembered when a collegue told me about the high turnover rate because of her micromanaging habits.
I'm feeling hopeless at this point. I feel like I'm being micromanaged to death. My manager is ruining the teams relationship. My coworker is an ass kisser and a big time suck up. She is getting promoted so I'm being pushed to become excellent ar my job so I can take on more tasks. Im being inconvenient to everyone it seems like.
Tl:dr coworker is overbearing and keeps track of my emails and work because manager told her to do so. She is tattle and so is everyone in the department. Boss accuses me of being on my phone all day.
