Thank you to those who made me laugh and offered genuine hilarious takes. I see I’m not the only out here dealing with a BAD boss.
Og posted here above.
Once I clocked in, I decided to type up a contract and present it to her. I was ready to do so when I got handed a stack of projects and was told to pitch in.
I politely refused and went back to wrapping everything up. I was then out of the office dealing with IT issues for our program beta testing when I looked up and saw my boss staring at me through the office glass. I excused myself and went into the hallway. She was pissed and asked to talk with me.
I rescheduled with IT and left for her office. She said she went through my drive and found my work and needed me to walk her through it now because she can’t see why it’s so hard for me to just write it down. So I did just that, I used every technical term I could think of ….nearly 5 minutes in I stopped and said “now how would you like me to document what just said?”
She looked ready to cry and said I could go back to my desk. I thought it was a victory.
However on her way out, she told me to get with my backup and to REAPPLY for my position when I come back in town. She’ll hold the job for me.
I reached out to this person to give them a heads up. As of today at 1807, this person informed me the will be out for 2 months at minimum and left this week on leave.
I thanked them and asked if our boss is aware.
My boss approved the leave and has now scheduled me to train a person who is not physically in the building to work. I think she forgot.
Soooooooo now I will not be following up on any of this and will be cutting back until my time is up. Fingers crossed it we make it to the finish line.
