To tell my manager I’m unhappy?

I’m booking in a catch up tomorrow to say how unhappy I am. That I don’t want to come to her with problems and no solutions but I’m unsure how to resolve this.

It’s actually affecting my mental health so badly now. It’s nothing to do with colleagues, bullying etc, it’s being so bored I cry, that she had admitted that I just get the boring parts of the job to do and my colleague doesn’t and has had a lot invested and developed in her.

Can you go with a development plan of what you want? That way it’s more proactive and if they can’t support that you have your answer. I have the opposite I don’t want development as I’m exhausted by caring responsibilities outside work I just need to cruise at the moment and have to justify that ironically!

hat she had admitted that I just get the boring parts of the job to do and my colleague doesn’t and has had a lot invested and developed in her.

bizarre

what was your response when she “admitted” this?

Well it wasn’t in a private meeting so professionally I thought it was best to discuss it at a different point, which hasn’t happened yet.
