I have a job that I had been enjoying very much- up until about 12 weeks ago.
I get on well with my boss- well; I thought I did. I'm not so sure anymore. We have worked together for quite a long time now and she knows me quite well.
I was quite the introvert when I first met her- and she took me under her wing a little bit. She has always described me as a friend. Anyway...the problems.
There has been a bit of a rough patch at work lately with people leaving/new people coming and it has caused a bit of a "split" so to speak.
We work together a lot, or we used to until about a week ago. There are some members of staff she will bitch about when they aren't there, and then will be up their backsides when they are.
One of my co workers went behind my bosses back and did something without her authority last week- and of course; knowing it was the right thing to do- I went and told my boss. Not to be a snitch, but because she WOULD of found out and there was no way to tell who it was so everyone else including her who was on shift when she did it would of been in the firing line. So my co worker got a bollocking. I went up to her and explain why I did what I did- no problem. We aren't the best of friends; but it is still perfectly amicable. Anyway- she left. And here starts the bitching from my boss- how there will be changes she can't cope with, talking about her personal life and how much she dislikes her. In the next day? Up her backside like a rat up a drain pipe- literally all over her, can't stop complimenting her work enough and how she is "the perfect employee" . Quite a change of tune.
Anyway- me. My boss has taken some of my responsibilities away from me, and will be giving them to someone else. I do have a hectic personal life and sometimes I get stressed at work- but I ALWAYS point out that I love my job and the responsibility it gives me. She gives me the tasks that I dislike doing most and so now i'm starting to feel i'm getting the shove. Obviously she can't officially give me the boot as i've not done anything wrong- but she wants me to jump.
I just can't work it out at all though. She says she wants to be supportive and be a friend- but then she treats me like that?! I 1000000% understand she can't show special treatment at work- but when she tells me i'm the only one she gets on with there, and "things are different between me and her" than other co works- but actually acts completely differently, what am I actually supposed to think? I do a lot for her and go above and beyond- and will be flexible with my working hours. So I just feel like i'm being manipulated by someone I thought was there to support me.
I'm sick of it if i'm honest. Sick of getting annoyed at work, sick of coming home stressed out. Sick of getting up in the morning and being filled with dread about going.
