I'm trying SO hard not to sound like a negative whinger here!
BUT. Due to a mass exodus of colleagues, I have been single-handedly running my dept for half a year. Its been such hard work and obviously standards have slipped and non-essential work hasnt been done.
New boss has been in post for a month. Despite promising not to change things he's done the opposite. All systems and processes are to be changed (by me) aswell as doing the work that actually needs doing. He asks me how things work, I tell him, he tells me to change them. I appreciate some change is inevitable, but its reaching the point where its starting to look like its change for change's sake and I can see his eyes glaze over when I try to explain why things have slipped, or why processes (that work) are how they are.
I admit I'm feeling a bit down because after all this time of trying to keep things going I feel like i'm being made to look incompetent. Im probably oversensitive though.
He's quite a bullish character and I don't want to come across as obstructive. He doesn't listen to anything I have to say - I get the feeling its going to be 'my way or the high way'.
Am I right to feel this way? Or do I just need to take it on the chin and get on with it? I need to talk to him I guess but nervous of how he'll react.
