I have a shitty boss. (don't we all) who I sense is trying to make me resign. Even thought I report to him, he allows another manager to boss me around so to speak even though he is higher in rank. This is causing me to have a higher workload. He started out nice and being flirtatious which I avoided because I don't cheat. (He is married) Then he got really cold towards me. After that he started suspiciously being nice again ( I suspect because busy season is right around the corner and they need an assistant). I knew his behavior was not authentic and a new position popped up and I immediately submitted my application for. Long story short he fucked around on approving it but finally got it done after I had to keep following up with him and then asking HR what the process was for applying for an internal transfer.
The other manager informed me that my boss told him to deny it. ( Apparently the approval has to go through 2 managers.
What is the best way to piss this guy off aside from burning through my leave. I know most of you will say be extra nice and do your work to the best of your ability. He may take the extra nice as me coming around and I definitely don't want to make the transition any easier buy being super efficient.
Thoughts.
